Environmental Conditions

* Factory conditions vary but machines give off heat, smoke/mist, and some locations have heat treat furnaces that may increase the temperature inside of buildings.

* All equipment has moving mechanical parts.

* Machine operators must work with oils and other chemicals in the manufacturing of parts and in cleaning of work areas.

* Because wiring is present, there is some minor risk of electrical shock while operating equipment.

* When in operation, machines will vibrate, as will the feeding systems of some equipment.

* Hearing protection is required PPE due to consistent decibel levels present when equipment is operating.
