  1. Health & Safety in the workshop Resistant Materials & Systems & Controls

  2. Health and Safety in a workshop • B. Health and Safety in a workshop is very important. If a pupil/student uses equipment, tools and machinery, he/she should have received safety training. This should ensure that he/she feels confident in the use of machines and can operate them without having an accident or causing an accident to other people. Below are a number of exercises that introduce pupils/students to an understanding of working in a safe environment.

  3. Before you can use equipment and machines or attempt practical work in a workshop you must understand basic safety rules. These rules will help keep you and others safe in the workshop. • Safe Ed (left) always thinks about working safely. On the other hand, Ed the Handyman (right) never considers safety. Not only is he at risk of having an accident but so are those who work near him. They could have an accident because of his reckless behaviour.

  4. 1. Always listen carefully to the teacher and follow instructions.2. Do not run in the workshop, you could ‘bump’ into another pupil and cause an accident.3. Know where the emergency stop buttons are positioned in the workshop. If you see an accident at the other side of the workshop you can use the emergency stop button to turn off all electrical power to machines. • 4. Always wear an apron as it will protect your clothes and hold lose clothing such as ties in place.5. Wear good strong shoes. training shoes are not suitable.6. When attempting practical work all stools should be put away.7. Bags should not be brought into a workshop as people can trip over them.8. When learning how to use a machine, listen very carefully to all the instructions given by the teacher. Ask questions, especially if you do not fully understand.9. Do not use a machine if you have not been shown how to operate it safely by the teacher.10. Always be patient, never rush in the workshop.11. Always use a guard when working on a machine.12. Keep hands away from moving/rotating machinery.13. Use hand tools carefully, keeping both hands behind the cutting edge.14. Report any damage to machines/equipment as this could cause an accident.

  5. When using the brazing hearth always;Face the brazing hearth.Turn on the torch slowly and carefully.Never turn round with the torch, this is highly dangerous.Concentrate fully on the heating of the material.When finished heating the material place the torch back onto its restNever pick up materials without using tongs and wearing leather gloves.Allow the material to cool before moving it elsewhere in the workshop.

  6. Ed the Handyman has rushed into the workshop with a piece of driftwood to drill. He has left his commonsense at home, again. QUESTIONS: 1. What is unsafe about the drilling machine that Jeff is using? 2. What is Jeff doing wrong?

  7. QUESTIONS: 1. Which Ed has the right approach to safety - is it Ed1 of Ed 2? 2. Describe the safety factors you need to keep in mind when using a machine drill.

  8. Ed the Handyman is taking his time. He will clean up the bench tomorrow (possibly) and prefers to drink coffee than leave the bench safe for the next person to use. Ed has left his commonsense at home, yet again.   QUESTIONS:1. What is unsafe about the bench that Ed has finished using? 2. Describe how you intend to leave a workbench after using it.  

  9. Ed the Handyman is using a fretsaw. His brother is trying to tell him about what he did at lunch time. Ed does not have the commonsense to tell him to act in a safe manner or to use the machine safely himself.   QUESTIONS: 1. What is unsafe about the way Ed and his brother are behaving? 2. What is wrong with the way the machine is being used?3. Explain how you intend to use a fretsaw safely.

  10. Anyone working in a workshop should be in a fit and well condition. Working on machines when you are not able to think clearly could result in a dangerous accident. One of the 'Eds' seen below is ready for work whilst the other is unfit to work, especially in a workshop that is full of machinery.

  11. QUESTION:1. Look at the two drawings below. Explain, in detail, which diagram shows safe use of the buffing machine and which shows dangerous/reckless use of the machine.

  12. When using the brazing hearth always;Face the brazing hearth.Turn on the torch slowly and carefully.Never turn round with the torch, this is highly dangerous.Concentrate fully on the heating of the material.When finished heating the material place the torch back onto its restNever pick up materials without using tongs and wearing leather gloves.Allow the material to cool before moving it elsewhere in the workshop.
