Tell your supervisor if any equipment, machines, tools, or vehicles appear to be damaged, defective, or in need of repair. When you promptly report damages, defects, and the need for repairs, you can prevent deterioration of equipment and possible injury to employees or other people.

See your supervisor if you have questions about your responsibility for maintenance and care of equipment or vehicles you use on the job.

The improper, careless, negligent, destructive, or unsafe use or operation of equipment or vehicles, as well as excessive or avoidable traffic and parking violations, may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.
