General Safety Tips

LENOX® is involved in the Voluntary Protection Program (VPP), designed to recognize and promote effective safety and health management. Our employees agree to participate in the program and work with management to assure a safe and healthful workplace under an established set of criteria. Several benefits to the VPP are the motivation to work safely, reduced workers' compensation costs and fewer lost workdays due to injuries. This all results in better quality and productivity. We are also very concerned for the safety of the people using our products. Here are a few tips to remind you to use all safety measures to avoid any type of injury:

1.      Tools can injure - handle with care.

2.      When cutting through walls, be sure you’re clear of cutting electrical wires behind the wall.

3.      Power tools can bind and kick back. Be sure to hold them firmly and keep yourself out of the recoil path.

4.       Wear eye protection and other appropriate safety equipment when using tools.

5.      Make sure ladders or staging are stable before using.

6.      When using drilling accessories, a power tool with a torque limiting device is recommended.

7.    Use power tools in accordance with manufacturers’ instructions and recommendations for accessories.
