This booklet has been produced by the Department of Labour as part of its continuing drive to reduce the incidence and severity of industrial accidents in New Zealand.

Most of what it contains can be described as "common sense", yet every year many of the accidents in industry happen because, in one way or another, the basic guidelines set out in this booklet are not followed.
