Pause between one job and the next
Before changing a job, clear unrelated blanks, notes, and loose material from the review area. A clean reset helps an operator identify which artwork and object belong together before continuing.
Use protective eyewear, appropriate shielding and ventilation, and attended operation. Follow the applicable instructions for the workspace and material; do not treat a checklist as a substitute for safe judgment.
Make the stop point visible
Place a simple hold note beside any job that has an unresolved question. A visible stop point can prevent an uncertain item from being mistaken for one that has already been reviewed.
See /updates/ for additional careful-workflow notes.
