This is what we’ll look at: » Your responsibilities » Your clothes and appearance » Orderly habits (keeping your work area tidy, and not playing around) » Using PPE. Have a think » What is the dress code in your workshop? » Is it the same when using different machines and equipment? 8 Safety in an engineering workshop Schools 22926 ED01  What you can do to stay safe Your responsibilities In NZ, the law (the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015) makes it clear that everyone has a role to play in workplace safety. In a school, both staff and students are responsible for their own safety and that of others. This means you need to make sure that what you do doesn’t harm yourself or others, and that you follow your teacher or supervisor’s guidance about good practice in the workshop. These are some things you can do to stay safe: »» Use the correct safety equipment and protection for the job. »» Follow the safety signs in your workshop. »» Keep your work area clean and tidy, so that there are no trip or slip hazards. »» Let your teacher know if you are unwell or taking medicine. Some medication can affect your reaction times. »» Report any injuries during class to your teacher, who will record it in the school injury/ incident register. »» Let your teacher know if there are any tools or machines that are not working correctly, or if you think something is a safety hazard. »» Don’t use equipment if you don’t know how to do so safely.

For example, loose clothing, dangling jewellery or long hair could get caught in moving machine parts and cause you injuries. Whether your school has a uniform or not, it’s important to follow the dress code in your workshop. The rules around your personal appearance are there for your safety, and it’s essential to follow them. 10 Safety in an engineering workshop Schools 22926 ED01  What you can do to stay safe »» H  ow much do you know about the dangers your clothes and appearance can cause? Fill in the table with ways to manage these risks. When and how can this cause What can you do to a problem? minimise the risk? Long, loose hair or beards Hair or facial hair getting caught in moving machinery. Ties, scarves or sleeves getting Clothing or accessories caught in machinery. Rings, necklaces or taonga Jewellery getting caught in machinery. Can you think of anything else? Safety in an engineering workshop Schools 22926 ED01 11  01 Section What you can dowayfinder to stay safe Orderly habits Your habits and behaviour in the workshop can have a big impact on how safe it is to work there. A clean and tidy workshop It’s important to be organised and keep the area where you work clean and tidy, both while you’re working, and when you’re finished. This helps prevent things like injuries caused by slips, trips and falls, damage to tools and equipment and fire hazards. Here are some things to do to keep your workshop tidy: »» Tidy as you go. Put tools and equipment away when you’re finished with them. »» Mop up and dry spills. »» Put rubbish and recycling in the right place. »» Store materials and tools in the right place. »» Make sure cables and power cords don’t create a trip hazard. 12 Safety in an engineering workshop Schools 22926 ED01  What you can do to stay safe No horseplay Horseplay is another way of talking about pranks, fooling around and being silly. The workshop is not the place for this behaviour, because it’s unsafe and creates risks for you, your classmates and your teacher, especially around machinery. Here are some reasons why fooling around in a workshop is a bad idea: »» Accidents are caused by unsafe behaviour. Horseplay is unsafe. »» Remember you are responsible for other peoples’ safety as well as your own. You could accidentally hurt someone while fooling around, or cause them to have an accident. »» Playing around means you are not concentrating on the tools and machinery you are using.

In this section, we’ll look at the procedures and equipment that are used in your workshop. This is what we’ll look at: » Hazards in your workshop and how they’re managed » Emergency procedures » Hazard warning signs » Fire-fighting equipment. Have a think » Look around you. What potential safety hazards are there in your workshop? » What examples can you see of safety equipment, signs, barriers and other ways to keep you out of harm? 18 Safety in an engineering workshop Schools 22926 ED01  What your school does to keep you safe Hazards in your workshop A hazard is anything that could cause you harm (by causing an accident, making you sick, starting a fire, and so on). The things you can do to minimise or remove the risk is called its management. There are many tools, machines and equipment in your workshop that could be hazardous. Let’s look at some of the risks and how they are managed. Equipment Equipment Hazards Potential harm Management Sheet metal folder, Sharp edges Accidents Proper training and rollers Injuries correct use Metal guillotine Use correct guarding Bench shears and security pin Use suitable PPE Welding equipment Fumes Accidents Proper training Electricity Breathing problems Use extraction Extreme heat or lung diseases equipment and Electrical shock ventilation Molten (or melted) metal or fire Use suitable PPE Burns to skin (welding helmet, Bright light overalls, leather Damage to eyes gloves and insulated boots) Use welding curtains Wear overalls covering skin Furnace and kiln Fire Burns Use suitable PPE Extreme heat (leather gloves) Molten metal Keep work area clean and free from debris that can catch fire Parts cleaning bath Chemicals Fumes Use suitable PPE Burns (eye and skin protection) Use extraction equipment, ventilation or respirator Safety in an engineering workshop Schools 22926 ED01 19  01 Section What your schoolwayfinder does to keep you safe Machinery Equipment Hazards Potential harm Management Air guns Compressed air Air bubbles in blood Proper training Damage to eyes and Use only under ears direction Use suitable PPE Metal working lathe Moving parts Accidents Proper training and Milling machine Flying metal, wood or Injuries correct use Drilling machine plastic chips or dust Damage to eyes Use suitable PPE Loud noise and ears (eye protection, Bench grinder hearing protection, Buffing machine Electricity Breathing problems dust masks) Band saw Electrical shock Keep hair, jewellery or fire Drop saw and clothing away Portable power tools from machinery Use safety equipment (guarding, work-piece clamping, screens) Check for exposed or damaged wiring 20 Safety in an engineering workshop Schools 22926 ED01  What your school does to keep you safe Hand tools Equipment Hazards Potential harm Management Hammers and mallets Sharp edges Cuts Proper training and Screwdrivers Flying metal, wood or Damage to eyes correct use Wrenches and saws plastic chips or hearing Regular tool Loud noise maintenance Snips and pliers Using suitable PPE Punches and dies (eye and hearing Drills and taps protection) Go find out Make sure you know some ways to manage hazards when using the following: »» Tools »» Equipment »» Machinery.

In an emergency, always tell your teacher or another staff member what has happened. They will let you know if you can do anything to help. 22 Safety in an engineering workshop Schools 22926 ED01  What your school does to keep you safe Go find out »» Here are some things to do in emergencies. Find out from your teacher if you have the same emergency procedures in your workshop, and add any other procedures if not. Emergency Emergency procedures Give first aid Call 111 if needed Accident Keep everyone in a safe area Anything else: Ring the fire alarm Call 111 Fire Evacuate the building Anything else:   Keep everyone in a safe area: either evacuate or stay indoors Chemical  Contact 111 spill  Give first aid to anyone in contact with the spill   Anything else:   Stay away from live cables   Call 111 Live electricity   Turn off power at the mains   If someone receives an electric shock, do not touch them until you know the electricity has been turned off   Anything else: Safety in an engineering workshop Schools 22926 ED01 23  01 Section What your schoolwayfinder does to keep you safe Hazard warning signs Warning signs are used to make sure everyone is aware of dangers, even those who can’t read or speak English. Let’s look at the way colour is used to help send the message. Yellow signs are used as a warning. They say ‘be careful’. Here are some examples: Toxic hazard Pinch point Gas under Risk of electric pressure shock (gas cylinder) Fire risk Sharp edges 24 Safety in an engineering workshop Schools 22926 ED01  What your school does to keep you safe Red signs are used to say ‘stop’ or ‘prohibited’ (not allowed). No smoking Emergency stop Blue signs say ‘this is mandatory’ or ‘you must do this’. They are often used for behaviour or actions. Look at the PPE section in the previous chapter for some examples. Green signs are there to give information and guide you to things like the first aid kit or fire exits. Safety in an engineering workshop Schools 22926 ED01 25  01 your What Section schoolwayfinder does to keep you safe Have a go Look around your workshop. Can you see any hazard and information signs? Ask your teacher if it’s OK to take photos of these signs, or find them online and print them out. You could also draw them. Attach your images in the space below. Make sure you know: »» The name for each sign »» What it warns you about. Hazard signs Prohibition signs 26 Safety in an engineering workshop Schools 22926 ED01  What your school does to keep you safe Mandatory signs Information signs Safety in an engineering workshop Schools 22926 ED01 27  01 Section What your schoolwayfi doesnder to keep you safe Fire-fighting equipment Your school (including your workshop) uses procedures and equipment to prevent fires from starting or spreading, and fire-fighting equipment to put out fires. You may not even notice some of the safety procedures (like how many people are allowed in spaces). It could also be part of the building (like the materials used in a building, the design of the building, fire doors, and so on). Classes of fire Fires are classified into different types, and there is suitable fire-fighting equipment for each class. For example, a fire hose (which uses water) shouldn’t be used on an electrical fire, but is perfect for a wood or paper fire. These are the different classes of fire: Water Powder C02 Foam Wet Chemical M2B/L2 Class A: Paper, wood, most plastics and rubber Class B: Flammable liquids (like petrol and oil) Class C: Flammable gases Class D: Flammable metals (like magnesium) Class E: Electrical equipment Class F: Cooking oils or fats 28 Safety in an engineering workshop Schools 22926 ED01  What your school does to keep you safe Equipment Here are some common examples of fire-fighting equipment.
