7. Last week recap
The graphic communication industry may be confronted with many hazards in the course of performing their duties. These duties include:
Hazards of a mechanical, chemical, flammable or electrical nature.
It is vital that your know basic safety practices. Because of the wide variety of processes performed, the potential for injury, illness, or death always exists.

8. Safety & Health Program
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is a division of the Department of Labor that sets and enforces occupational health and safety rules.

9. OSHA
OSHA Regulates the Hazard Communication Standard known as the “Worker’s Right to Know Law”, which requires the employer to communicate information to workers about chemical hazards in the workplace.

10. OSHA
To ensure the success of the safety and health program, management leadership is essential.
Safe conditions depend on a constant vigilance for possible hazards.

11. Essential Question
What are the four mechanisms that can cause serious injury in a plant. Explain each one.
“I will be able to identify the hazards that are posed by reciprocating, rotating, ad sheering actions of various types of machinery in the industry.”

12. Tuesday – August 29, 2017
Turn and talk with your shoulder partner about the four hazardous mechanisms one will find in a graphic communication plant. Be ready to share out. (10 minutes)

13. Mechanical Hazards
There are any on-the-job physical injuries are the result of mechanical hazards that can be controlled if:
Machines are properly guarded.
Energy isolating devices are locked out and tagged during maintenance.
Workers properly use personal protective equipment
Workers area trained to handle materials, tools and equipment safely.

14. Machine Guarding It is IMPORTANT to remember that
Hazards are posed by the reciprocating, rotating, and sheering actions of various types of machinery.

15. Rotating Mechanisms/Machine Hazards
The following mechanisms can cause serious injury.
Rotating Mechanisms/Machine Hazards

16. Rotating Machine Parts
Rotating motions create hazards at the point of operation and at the point where power or motion is being transmitted f rom one point to another.
NEVER wear loose clothing, hair, ear buds, headphones and jewelry while working around machines. Even skin can cause severe injury.
Rotating Machine Parts

17. Rotating Machine Parts
Remember typical rotating mechanisms are:
Spindles
Flywheels
Horizontal or vertical shafts
Cams and collars

18. Machine Guards
Protect parts of the human body from being electrocuted, cut, squashed, or hit by flying fragments.
Protect the equipment from foreign objects.
Metal and plastic are two materials commonly used as guards.

19. Two Types of Machine Guards
Nip Guards – where two cylinders meet or come close to one another.
Barrier Guards – keep a person out of the operation area but can be hinged or moved. When the guard is moved out of position, power is cut off, and machine will not run.

20. Wednesday – August 30, 2017
Turn and talk with your shoulder partner about the Proper protective equipment. Be ready to share out. (10 minutes)

21. Essential Question
Why is it important to wear the proper protective clothing when working in the lab?
“I will be able to explain why it is important to wear the proper protective clothing when working in the lab.”

22. Personal Protection

23. Thursday August 31 Essential Question
What are the eight steps to lifting heavy objects?
I will be able to explain the proper way to lift objects to prevent back injuries.

24. Safe Lifting Clear a pathway Check weight Request help
Keep your back straight
Lift with your knees
Keep objects close to your body
Tighten your stomach
Deliver carefully

25. Essential Question
Identify the chemicals used in the printing industry?
I will be able to identify what chemicals are used in the printing industry.

26. Chemical Handling and Disposal
Depending on their chemical structure, certain substances are more harmful than others.

27. Classes of Hazardous Materials

28. Types of Chemicals and Agents
Organic Solvents Platemaking Chemicals Ink mists Gases, fumes, and dust

29. Essential Question
Describe the general precautions one must take against harmful solvent vapors.
“I will be able to describe the eight (8) precautions that must be taken against harmful solvent vapors.”

30. Volatile Organic Solvents (VOCs)
Some of the most common organic solvents found in the industry are blanket and roller washes, fountain solutions, plate cleaners, glaze removers, degreasers, and film cleaners.

31. Thursday/Friday – August 24-25, 2017
Read Pages Turn and talk with your shoulder partner about the importance of a safety and health program. Be ready to share out. (10 minutes)

32. Fire Prevention Essential Question:
Why should fire prevention be a priority?
I will understand the importance of fire prevention in the work place.

33. Material Safety Data Sheet

34. Noise
Unwanted and excessively loud noise is found in many industrial facilities. Excessive noise can lead to permanent hearing loss.
Noise levels are measured in units called decibels (dBA).
A reading of 90 dBA is the maximum allowable limit f or an eight-hour day.
If reading exceeds 90 dBA personal hearing protection must be worn.
Hearing protection devices include ear muffs, ear plugs, moldable inserts, and noise reducing headsets.

35. Noise Limits
Read the Academic Link on page 54 and conduct a “sound check” on the sounds you are exposed to everyday. Do any of the sounds reach dangerous levels? Does wearing headphones/ear plugs help or hurt you?
