Shop visits are an inevitable part of business today. We have more visitors coming through our shops now than ever before: an auditor to validate a process, a customer representative to ensure you really do have machines, a calibration of testing equipment or community members to learn about potential careers. Here is a checklist to make sure your visitors and your shop have covered everything regarding hazards, safety, security and rules for proper dress and behavior.

U.S. Citizenship

If you work for International Traffic in Arms Regulations or producing defense-related items, a certification of U.S Citizenship might be required.

Section 2: Hazards

Safety Data Sheets: Safety data sheets are available for all materials.

Section 3: Security

Stay with Your Guide: Do not wander alone on the shop floor or venture into other areas.

Emergency Alarms: Alarms may sound for various reasons. If an alarm sounds, follow the instructions of your guide to get to safety.

Evacuations: Evacuations are unlikely, but follow your guide to the closest exit to get to a designated assembly point.

Section 4: Rules

No Smoking/Tobacco Free: Our shop and offices are tobacco and smoke free. There’s no smoking or use of tobacco on our premises.

No Photography: Photography of any type, including cell phones and video, is strictly prohibited.

No Cell Phones: We work hard to maintain good housekeeping and best practices, but the shop environment requires your full attention. Cell phones must remain in your pocket or purse while in our shop.
