Safety
Glasses:
EVERYONE
MUST WEAR SAFETY GLASSES IN THE SHOP.
Even when you’re not working on
a machine, you must wear safety glasses. A chip from a machine someone else
is working on could fly into your eye.
·
Clothes and Hair:
In particular: · IF YOU HAVE LONG HAIR OR A LONG BEARD, TIE IT UP- If your hair is caught in spinning machinery, it will be pulled out if you're lucky. If you're unlucky, you will be pulled into the machine.
·
NO LOOSE CLOTHING-
Ties, scarves, loose sleeves, etc. are prohibited.
·
NO GLOVES.
·
REMOVE LOOSE JEWELRY. · WEAR APPROPRIATE SHOES- No open toe sandals. Wear shoes that give a sure footing. If you are working with heavy objects, steel-toed shoes are recommended.
·
Safe Conduct in the Shop:
·
Be aware of what's going on around you, For example, be careful not
to bump into someone while they're cutting with the band saw (they could lose
a finger).
·
Concentrate on what you're doing. If you get tired while you're
working, leave the work until you're able to fully concentrate--don't rush. If you catch yourself rushing, slow down.
·
Don't rush speeds and feeds. You'll end up damaging your part, the
tools, and maybe the machine itself.
·
Listen to the machine, if something doesn't sound right, turn the
machine off.
·
Don't let someone else talk you into doing something dangerous.
·
Don't attempt to measure a part that's moving.
·
Machining:
IF YOU
DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO SOMETHING –
ASK!
BEFORE YOU
START THE MACHINE:
·
Study the machine. Know which parts move, which are stationary, and
which are sharp.
·
Double check that your work piece is securely held. · Remove chuck keys and wrenches. Clean up Machines after use!!
