2–3 Minute Talk Script
Safe use of digital levels is important for carpenters, masons, and installers. These tools provide precise readings but require calibration and careful handling.
Workers should verify calibration regularly, especially after impacts or drops.
Different surfaces must be cleaned before taking readings to ensure accuracy.
Carrying levels in protective cases prevents display or sensor damage.
Safety Reminders
- Check calibration regularly.
- Clean surfaces before measuring.
- Handle tools carefully.
- Store digital levels in cases.
Ask the Crew
- Has this level been dropped recently?
- Are surfaces clean enough for accurate measurement?
