Shop Safety

Never use a machine until your teacher has checked you off on it.

General rules

  1. Wear safety glasses the whole time you are in the shop, not just at machines.
  2. Tie back long hair. Remove loose jewelry and tuck in or remove loose clothing.
  3. Walk, don't run. Keep the floor and your work area clear.
  4. Only one person operates a machine at a time. Stay out of the safety zone around someone else's machine.
  5. Report every injury, no matter how small, to the teacher right away.
  6. Report damaged or dull tools. Don't try to fix a machine yourself.
  7. Clean up your station before you leave.
