Learn to safely operate blowers, staple guns, spray foam equipment, and other hand and power tools.
Follow all company and industry safety procedures.
Wear required personal protective equipment, including respirators or masks, gloves, safety glasses or goggles, boots, protective body coverings, and air-supplied hoods.
