If possible avoid wearing jewellery or loose clothing if operating machinery

To co-operate with my employer, making sure I get all of the relevant training and understand and follow the company's health and safety policies
Not to interfere with or misuse anything that's been provided for my health, safety or welfare
To report any injuries, strains or illnesses I may suffer as a result of doing your job
