In signing this statement, I acknowledge that I have carefully read and fully understand the serious nature of working with the abrasive water jet machine. I also realize that other, undefined hazards will always exist in the manufacturing environment therefore, MY OWN SAFETY IS ULTIMATELY MY OWN RESPONSIBILITY.  I will always “ask” if I am not sure of a potential safety hazard.
