  22. 21. List 3 things you should do when using power tools: 1) Wear safety glasses & any other appropriate safety equipment. 2) Concentrate on your work, pay attention to what you are doing, work slowly and deliberately. 3. Stand with your feet directly in front of the machine.

  23. Before turning on a power tool you should know how to Turn it off! …. Silly  !

  24. 23. List 3 things you should do to protect yourself from harmful dust in the jewelry studio: 1. Clean up using a wet paper towel. (Wet Clean Up) 2. Wear a dust mask when using the flex-shaft or mixing investment. 3. Drinks should be in containers with a twist lid; keep the lid on when not drinking. (do not bring food into the lab on work days)

  25. 24. List the 4 types of metal that can be cleaned in the pickle bath. • Nickel • Brass • Copper • Sterling Silver

  26. 25. Because of the steam from the crock pot with the Pickle Cleaning Solution, there is a certain way to lift the lid. What is it? • Tip it away from you

  27. 26. What is the best treatment for a burn from heat or flame? • Stop the burning by running it under cold water &/or ice pack. • Keep from oxygen.

  28. 27. If you develop a rash or begin to itch you may have some of the acid from the Pickle on you. What should you do? • Flush with cold water!!!!

  29. 28. What should you do if you get a small cut that is bleeding? • Rinse it in the sink w/ water & put a cute bandaid on it.

  30. 29. What should you do if you get a deep cut that bleeds profusely? • Stop the bleeding by applying pressure. If you have time, do this with a cloth or towel, or you could just use your hand. • Get the teacher’s attention, and sit down to help you from going into shock. • We will probably get you to the office. They will call your parents; parents & office staff will decided if you need a dr.’s attention. I will fill out an accident report about what happened.

  31. 30. If you notice a drop of blood on the floor or table that is from an accident of one of your fellow students, what should you do about it ? • Don’t touch it. Tell me about it & I will clean it up. • Do not clean it up yourself. There are strict procedures for cleaning up bodily fluids at school, so I’ll take care of that sort of thing.

  32. 31. What is the main cause of accidents in the jewelry room? • It’s horseplay (goofing around and being unsafe around equipment). • The next most common cause of accident is carelessness. This usually happens when students get a little over-confident and then get lazy about safety procedures. • SO BE SMART AND BE CAREFUL!!!

  33. 32. What is the most common type of injury in the jewelry room? • CUTS • Surprise! NOT BURNS! • My theory: most cuts happen when students are looking away from their projects while talking. AND, most of us can remember that hot things burn.

  34. Just a thought: • Most students never get hurt in the jewelry studio, not even little cuts. • We go over safety rules at the beginning of the semester so that you can be aware of safety issues and be smart about working in the lab, so that you won’t get hurt.
