Overview
An extensive coverage of health and safety into

workshop practice, focusing on hazards control,

safety precautions, and industrial hygiene, to

develop a responsible awareness of hazards.

It is the state of being "safe", i.e.

Protected against physical, and the other
consequences of failure, damage, error or
accidents.

It is also defined as the control of the

parts.
5. Periodically reviewing, updating and evaluating

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).

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.
