ASSEMBLING PRECAUTIONS FOR ASSEMBLING Worker’s Clothing (1) Wear clothing appropriate for the job. (2) Wear safety equipment such as a hard hat, and safety shoes. Conferring Work Process Thoroughly confer with all related personnel on the entire work process, the role assigned to each, and precautions to ensure safety. Coordinating Signal System, and Appointing Signal Person Before starting, be sure to coordinate the signal system to be used. Appoint one qualified signal person (if a multiple number of signal persons are used, different signals may confuse the workers, possibly causing an accident). All workers should obey the signals only from one signal person.
