Safety Glasses
EVERYONE MUST WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WHEN USING OR NEAR MACHINES
- 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
Check your clothes and hair before you start to operate machinery. 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 JEWELERY
- WEAR APPROPRIATE SHOES
- No open toed sandals. Wear shoes that give a sure footing. If you are working with heavy objects, steel tes 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 bandsaw (they could lose a finger!).
- Concentrate on what you're doing. If you get tired, leave.
- Do not operate any power tools when under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Don't hurry. 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
NEVER WORK ALONE
- There must be another person in the space to use the power tools
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 workpiece is securely held.
- Remove chuck keys and wrenches.
DO NOT LEAVE MACHINES RUNNING UNATTENDED!
CLEAN UP MACHINES AFTER YOU USE THEM!
A dirty machine is unsafe and uncomfortable to work on.
