Adding safety hazards and precautions to standard work orders

Add hazards and precautions to standard work orders that inform your employees on how to use equipment safely when working in hazards that can cause bodily harm and alert them in advance of the precautions to take to protect themselves from the hazard. For example, you can add a precaution to turn equipment off and remove the power cord from the power outlet before performing repairs on electrical equipment.
