Safety posters (fig. 6-1 1) help warn of dangers in working areas or remind personnel to be safety conscious. Warnings signs (red) and caution signs (yellow) should be located where hazardous conditions exist. Be aware of areas that are wet or oily or have stumbling hazards. Wear rubber gloves and protective clothing wherever working conditions warrant it. Make it a habit to look for and to correct defective tools and equipment, improper grounding, and rotating machinery hazards. Handtools Normally, you should have no problems when working with handtools. In all likelihood, however, you have seen some dangerous practices in the use of handtools that should have been avoided. One unsafe practice involves the use of tools with plastic or wooden handles that are cracked, chipped, splintered, broken, or other- wise unserviceable. This practice is sure to result in accidents and personal injuries, such as cuts, bruises,  and  foreign  objects  being  thrown  in the  eyes.  If  unserviceable  handtools  are  not repairable, they should be discarded and replaced. When necessary (in an emergency only) to improvise an insulated handtool, use the following approved method to protect the user against the 6-22
