Study Notes

Chapter One: Safety

  • Accidents are caused, not happen.
  • Accidents can and must be prevented.
  • Accidents cost significant lost man-hours and human suffering.
  • The individual is usually the cause and casualty of accidents.
  • Young workers are more prone to accidents due to inexperience.

1.2.1 Protective Clothing

  • Overalls: Close-fitting, buttoned sleeves at the wrist, to avoid clothing getting caught in machinery.
  • Shoes: Suitable shoes that can withstand the work environment to prevent injuries like puncture wounds or crushed toes.
  • Goggles: Essential when grinding, chipping, or machining materials like brass, to protect the eyes.
  • Gloves: Must be worn when handling raw materials like sheets, bars, castings to protect against injury by sharp edges.

1.2.2 Long Hair

  • Long hair caught in machinery can lead to serious scalp injuries.
  • Drilling, turning, and rotating machines are especially dangerous, with regard to hair.

1.2.3 Untidiness

  • Obstructing gangways is dangerous and should be avoided.
  • Spilled oil and water must be cleaned immediately.
  • Tools and scrap material must not be left around.

1.2.4 Behaviors

  • Distracting behaviors like pushing, shouting, or practical jokes can cause serious accidents.
  • Good workshop etiquette is important.

1.2.5 Regulations

  • Be aware of and obey safety regulations created by experienced workers.
  • Don't ignore safety rules, and understand their purpose.
  • Never tamper with electrical equipment without checking the condition with a qualified electrician.

1.2.6 Guards

  • Use machinery only with the guards in place and functional.
  • Removing guards is irresponsible and can lead to accidents.

1.2.7 Lifting

  • Always use lifting tackles for heavy weights.
  • Don't stand under the load when using lifting tackle.

1.2.8 Use & Maintenance of Hand Tools

  • Use appropriate, correctly wired plugs for portable equipment, to prevent overheating and risk of fire.
  • Secure all electrical connections.
  • Use correct rating fuses (or electrical devices) to prevent faults such as shock or fire.
  • Avoid makeshift fuses.
  • Ensure good earthing of all external metal parts to ground incase of fault.
  • Don't use damaged or worn electrical cables.
