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

14. Shop Behavior ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________. 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.

15. Shop Behavior Power tools are not to be played with. Don’t turn them on unless you are using them. ___________________________________________________. 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.

16. Shop Behavior _____________________________________ ____________________________________. 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.

18. Fire Prevention ________________________________ ________________________________. Do not place hot metal near anything that could possibly start a fire

19. Using a Fire Extinguisher (PASS) _________________________. This will allow you to discharge the extinguisher. _________________________. 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.

20. Using a Fire Extinguisher _______________________ _______________________. This depresses a button that releases the pressurized extinguishing agent in the extinguisher. _______________________ _______________________. 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.

21. First Aid Requirements ________________ ________________ ________________. Do not for any reason hide an accident or injury from the teacher.
