General Shop Safety Rules

General Shop Safety Rules

• Safety in the Shop begins with the proper frame
  of mind. The expression Safety is no
  Accident, is a good starting point.

2
Attitude

• When you enter the shop, you always need to make
  sure that you mentally and physically adjust to
  the increased hazards around you.
• The things that you might do in a gym dont
  belong in a classroom, and things that you might
  do in a classroom dont belong in a SHOP!

• Tools greatly reduce the time needed to perform
  an operation and usually improve your ability to
  do a job.
• Learn how to use tools properly and take pride in
  your ability to use a tool safely and
  effectively.
• Be careful to think through each operation before
  you do it. Use your common sense. Do not do
  things that seem unsafe.

Activities

• Frequently, when a person is injured, we hear the
  words I didnt mean to, or I was just fooling
  around.
• For that reason horseplay can not be permitted!
  Yelling, screaming, pushing, jumping, running,
  throwing objects, using a tool improperly or as a
  pretend weapon can not happen!

Protect the Most Important Tools You Have

• Your Eyes are not tools, but they are our most
  important sense, and it is very difficult to get
  by without them.
• Always use approved eye protection whenever
  cutting, hammering, using a power tool, in the
  vicinity or watching someone else doing these
  things!
• Make it a Lifelong Habit to recognize hazards to
  your eyes and take precautions to protect your
  eyes, not just when someone is standing over you
  and making you do it.

8
Getting Ready to Work

• Before presenting yourself and your project to
  the instructor for permission to use a power
  tool, make sure you are READY!
• Have your safety glasses in place, hair, clothing
  and jewelry secured.
• Make sure your project is ready also. Have you
  made all the necessary layout marks in
  preparation for cutting? The instructor will not
  assume you know
• what you are doing you must PROVE
• it by your presentation.

9
Get Permission Before Use

• Always obtain permission from the instructor
  before using a power tool.
• This alerts the instructor to a machine in use
  and who is using it.
• This helps ensure the operation will be performed
  correctly.
• This provides an opportunity for the instructor
  to monitor your work to prevent errors (scrapping
  out a project).

10
Safety Equipment

• Make sure that all guards are in place and that
  they work properly.
• Keep hands at least four inches away from cutting
  surfaces.
