In order to avoid facing such a problem, it is important to make a working plan to understand the current condition. With proper plans, machines can be given for maintenance.

Different machines mean different ways on operating them which also require proper training and knowledge. Therefore, make sure you don’t try to operate one you haven’t trained at.
- No Working without Wearing Safety Gear – Goggles, hard hats, gloves, masks, shoes are some of the safety gears you should wear first before heading at the worksite.
