GENMA Maintenance · Safety First | On the Job Site, These Lines Are Not to Be Crossed

You're working on the hoist. A colleague walks right under a suspended component. That split-second tension? It's real.
Risks are obvious during operation. During maintenance, they're often hidden—and just as dangerous.

Red Line 1: Standing Under a Suspended Load

Let's be clear: Never stand under a suspended load. Whether it's a component or any lifted object—if it's off the ground, stay out from under it. This isn't just common sense. It's a basic safety rule worldwide.

Red Line 2: Working Alone

"I can handle it alone." Sound familiar? On a maintenance site, that mindset is a risk. GENMA reminds you: Never work alone. If something goes wrong, you need someone nearby to cut the power and call for help. It's not about your skills—it's about having backup when it counts.

Red Line 3: Walking into Restricted Areas

A worker walks past the barrier—"just to take a quick look." Sound harmless? It's not. Keep unauthorized personnel out of maintenance zones. Barriers and warning signs exist for a reason. In busy ports and industrial sites, this rule saves lives.

Red Line 4: Ignoring Alarms

Siren going off? Horn sounding? Light flashing? It's tempting to think it's nothing. But here's the rule: When alarms or indicators activate, stop and check. Those signals are the equipment calling for attention. Ignoring them can turn a minor issue into a major failure—or worse.

At GENMA, these rules aren't just guidelines. They're built on real lessons from real job sites.
Share this with your team. Whether you're working on a crane, a reach stacker, or any heavy equipment—these lines are not to be crossed.
