INTRODUCTION
Everyone is responsible for safety. Always watch for situations that could cause an injury on the job.
Learn the steps necessary to assist an injured team member. The knowledge we have could save a life.
In addition, we must know all we can about the equipment we use on the job. If we are unfamiliar with
it we could injure ourselves. The installation of a telephone line is complex if you do not get an
opportunity to do it very often.
