• Documentation: Accurate record-keeping of production counts, scrap rates, and inspection results on daily shift logs.
• Workplace Safety & Maintenance: Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area; perform basic daily machine care and adhere strictly to all personal protective equipment (PPE) and shop safety guidelines.
