How to Create a Strong Password

Workplace accidents and injuries can be avoided if the worker is being careful. Workers have the responsibility to take care of their health and safety. You have to pay attention to the training you receive, especially when operating machinery. If you are not sure if what you're doing is right, ask for supervision so you don’t hurt yourself or others. Always wear protective clothing if your job requires it.
