Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) 4. Hand protection 5. Ear protection  IV- Safety Managements Employers are responsible for: 1. Identifying hazards in the work place “hazard assessment”. 2. Identifying and providing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for employees. 3. Training employees in the use and care of the PPE. 4. Maintaining PPE, including replacing worn or damaged parts. 5. Periodically reviewing, updating and evaluating the effectiveness of the PPE program.  IV- Safety Managements (cont.) Employers are responsible for: 6.

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). VI-Safety notes in the workshop (cont.) 6. When attempting practical work all tools 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. 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. VI-Safety notes in the workshop (cont.) 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. Thanks for attention
