2. Long hair must be tied up.

3. Hands must be free of adornment

2. In the event of emergency, keep in mind the important hotlines like the SP Emergency Hotline (6772-1234) or the Ambulance (995)

3. Do not play around in the area and make sure that the machines are used properly.

4. Any hot objects found in the machine to be removed using gloves.
