Hand Injuries

House Keeping (Shop Layout) See attached All tools will return when they are finished being used! Clean-up will happen the last five minutes of class. It is YOUR responsibility to make sure everything YOU used is put back and YOUR area is clean. THIS IS NOT YOUR MAMA’S HOUSE!

House Keeping Any tool(s) which has (have) been broken or not in good repair will be need to be reported to the teacher. Do not put the tool back if you know it can not be used again. Unsafe tools make an unsafe shop.

Color Codes Color codes identify the type of hazard Red= Danger Yellow= Caution Orange= Warning Blue= Safety Green= Location of First Aid Equipment Fluorescent Orange/Orange-Red= Biosafety

Shop Behavior Students are expected to wear safety glasses ANY time they enter the shop. No exceptions! They are to be returned to storage after being used and cleaned if needed. Horseplay is NEVER permitted in the shop. You are expected to behave like a professional. Anyone not doing so will face severe punishment. AND I will remind you that “horseplay” is left to my judgment, so THINK before you do anything! All safety precautions and proper operating procedures will be followed for each and every tool in the shop.        

Shop Behavior Power tools are not to be played with. Don’t turn them on unless you are using them. The air lines and tools are not toys. Never spray yourself or another person with compressed air.      When another student is using a piece of machinery, all others are to stay out of the work area while the machine is running.        If you spill something, you are expected to clean it up immediately.        

MSDS A material safety data sheet (MSDS) is a form containing data regarding the properties of a particular substance

Shop Behavior No one is to be near the welding area without wearing a welding helmet.    You are NEVER allowed to use a tool which you have not been tested on and passed that test. All tools will be wiped down and properly stored when you are no longer using them.

Shop Behavior The metal storage rack is off limits. No one is to take or touch any of the materials on the rack without teacher permission. Any problems with a tool should be reported to the instructor immediately.

Shop Behavior Lastly, this shop is equipped just like any modern machine shop or auto shop. You are expected to treat everything and everyone in the shop with respect. Working in the shop with the tools is a privilege that you can lose for ANY reason, so use your good sense! (Parks)

Fire Prevention Do not weld near any combustible chemicals or open flame. Do not place hot metal near anything that could possibly start a fire

Most fires in our shop are started like this

Using a Fire Extinguisher (PASS) Pull the pin. This will allow you to discharge the extinguisher. Aim at the base of the fire. If you aim at the flames (which is frequently the temptation), the extinguishing agent will fly right through and do no good. You want to hit the fuel.

Using a Fire Extinguisher Squeeze the top handle or lever. This depresses a button that releases the pressurized extinguishing agent in the extinguisher. Sweep from side to side until the fire is completely out. Start using the extinguisher from a safe distance away, then move forward. Once the fire is out, keep an eye on the area in case it re-ignites.

First Aid Requirements If an accident happens the first thing to do is let the teacher know. Do not for any reason hide an accident or injury from the teacher.

First Aid Requirements For minor cuts and burns you can use the first aid kit located above the fire extinguisher next to the teacher’s office or you can go to the nurse’s office. For serious injuries professional assistance will be attained by the teacher.
