At Black River Trading, safety isn’t just a rule — it’s a habit.

The best way to stay injury-free is by developing small, consistent safety habits that become second nature.

Here are 10 safety habits to live by:

1️⃣ Set your own standards. Don’t skip PPE because others do — your safety is your responsibility.

2️⃣ Operate equipment only if trained. Always get proper instruction before starting new tasks.

3️⃣ Respect machinery. Never rush, and always de-energize before placing hands near moving parts.

4️⃣ Speak up. If something looks unsafe, say something or ask for guidance.

5️⃣ Ask questions. “I think” isn’t good enough when it comes to safety. Be sure.

6️⃣ Lift smart. Know your limits — it’s not worth weeks of recovery.

7️⃣ Keep it clean. A cluttered work area is an accident waiting to happen.

8️⃣ Dress right. Wear enclosed shoes, tie back hair, and avoid loose clothing.

9️⃣ Stay clean. Wash up and avoid touching your face with dirty gloves or hands.

🔟 Be a safety leader. Encourage others and set a positive example every day.

Safety is a daily decision. Let’s make the right one — together.
