What do you know about safety procedures?Safety Pre-testLook at each picture on the sheet provided to you. Then write what is wrong in each situation.

Let’s Share Stories - I’ll share my personal story first and what I’ve heard in the past.- Do you know anyone who was injured by a power equipment or tool?

EQ #1 What is an Accident? • An unplanned event that may or may not result in an injury

EQ #2: CAUSES OF ACCIDENTS • 80% of accidents are caused by human error. • 20% of accidents are caused by unsafe conditions in the surroundings.

Eye Protection • Safety Glasses • Eye Glass Side Shields • Goggles • Full Face Shields ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN WORKING IN THE LABORATORY!

Tools • Always inspect a tool before you use it. • If there is a damaged switch or cord on a power tool report it to your teacher immediately so that the tool can be put up for repair. • Never touch a power tool if it is moving, wait until it comes to a complete stop. • Always use the tool for it’s proper function.

Using Power Tools in the Laboratory • Always get permission from the teacher before you use the machinery. • Never talk to another student or the instructor while he/she is operating the machinery. • When using the machinery stand only in the “Operator Zone” or the area where only the machinery operator should stand. • Always unplug a power tool by the plug not the cord.

Types of Machines • Drill Press – When cutting holes make sure the material is secured in a Vise or Gripping Tool. Never hold the material. • Band Saw – Use the guide to push material through the blade and keep your hands from the blade. Never force material, forcing means you are pushing too hard and could lead to injuries. • Sander – Hold material firmly, always move against the spin.

When in the Laboratory… • The Laboratory is a dangerous place if you are not careful. • Never Horse Play. • Never Operate the machinery without checking with me. • Loose hair should be tied up, clothing tucked in, jewelry taken off, and long sleeves rolled up. • If an accident should happen contact me immediately.

Materials • Paint, enamel, lacquer, or solvents must not be used near flames or sparks because they are flammable. • Keep flammable materials in the metal cabinet. • Never leave material lying around someone could get cut, slip, or fall. • Hot metal placed in water can cause the water to be hot enough to burn someone.

Clean Up ALWAYS CLEAN UP THE LABORATORY BEFORE YOU LEAVE!!!!

EQ #3LET’S REVIEW SAFETY SLOGANS

Review safety rules and procedures in the manufacturing room Control yourhair ! Must be tied back iftoolong

CONCENTRATE ON YOUR WORK

AVOID HORSEPLAY

USE DEVICES THE WAY THEY WERE INTENDED

REMOVE JEWELRY AND WATCHES

IF ANY ACCIDENT SHOULD OCCUR, CONTACT THE TEACHER IMMEDIATELY

HANDLE MATERIALS PROPERLY AND WITH CARE

DO NOT TALK TO ANYONE WHILE OPERATING THE MACHINE

ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES

READ THE OWNERS MANUAL

Do not rush

Activity 1: VIEWING SAFETY VIDEOS • College video “Real Smart”. Inappropriate use of tools sometimes leads to injuries. • Shed construction video – Not having the right equipment could lead to accidents.

Activity Task 2: SAFETY SLOGANS select a slogan from the list below and create a poster that illustrates the concept. You will be graded on completion of the assignment, visual appeal, and appropriateness for the classroom. The poster should include both text and graphics. Select the correct tool for the job Never work alone Concentrate on your work Remove jewelry and watches Always wear safety glasses If any accident should occur, contact the teacher immediately Do not talk to anyone while they are operating a machine When possible, clamp all work down Return all tools and machine accessories to their proper location Dispose of scrap materials properly Keep hands away from all moving blades When possible, clamp all work down Remove all chuck keys or wrenches before starting a machine Inform the teacher immediately of any broken tool or machine Always checking the machine before you start Read the owner’s manual Use devices only in the way they were intended Dress properly- Avoid loose clothing and open toed shoes Control your hair Ask your teacher if you are unsure how to operate a machine Avoid horse play Keep your work area clean. Lift material properly. Use your legs not your back to do the lifting Clean up all spills quickly and properly Do not use any tool or machine without permission or proper instruction Use all machine guards Always unplug machines before changing blades Perform all welding, brazing and soldering operations in well-ventilated areas Paint, enamel, lacquer or solvents must not be used near flames or sparks Do not rush using machinery. Take the time to do it right.

Safety Colors Foundations of Engineering

Orange • Safety Orange identifies dangerous or parts of machines that is moving.

Green • Safety Green designates safety and the location of first aid and safety equipment. • First aid dispensers • First aid kits • Eye wash station • Safety showers • Other safety equipment • Safety instruction signs

Eye Wash Station Located behind on door of manufacturing lab

Red • Safety Red means Danger and/or Stop. • Common equipment or occurrences in a lab • Fire protection equipment • Containers of flammable liquids • Stop bars and switches on machinery • Fire alarm boxes • Fire exit signs • Blanket boxes • Extinguishers • Sirens

Activity 3: Safety Rules Test • You must score a perfect 100%
