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.
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.
NO LOOSE CLOTHING
- Ties, scarves, loose sleeves, etc. are
prohibited.
NO GLOVES
REMOVE LOOSE JEWELRY
WEAR APPROPRIATE SHOES
- No open-toed 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.
IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO
SOMETHING, ASK!
Before
Starting a 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!!
- A Dirty
Machine is unsafe and difficult to
operate properly.
- Vacuum or
sweep debris from machine.
DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR!
It will endanger people and the precision bearings in the equipment.
(The compressed air is there for other
reasons, not for cleaning shop machines).
DO NOT LEAVE MACHINES RUNNING UNATTENDED!
The door to
the
student shop must be left open when working after hours and on weekends.
