Wandering Eyes Could Cost Lives

Do you ever get an impulse to explore the plant where you work?  It isn't something you should do on your own.  You need the proper authorization, training and protective equipment to stay safe from injury wherever you go.

How about channeling your curious nature into some cross training?  Ask your supervisor if you can try out a new job in the same workplace.  Your employer might be happy to help you become a more versatile worker. 

For you, there are many advantages to cross training in other jobs:

• Learning new skills can help you do your current job better.
• You can advance your career.   Learning new things can prepare you for a new job or promotion.
• Doing a different job can relieve boredom and prevent burnout.
• Varying your work can also help prevent repetitive strain injuries caused by doing the same task over and over day after day.

Don't enter areas of the workplace you are unfamiliar with.  Not only will you be at risk, but you might put other workers in danger as well.
