Equipment worn by an employee that is designed to prevent injury or illness from
a specific hazard.
It's better to correct an unsafe friend than to bury one
Eye protection comes in many forms, such as safety glasses, goggles, face shields, and welding protection.
Your supervisor will select the proper eye protection for the hazard, but the most important thing is for you to wear it when provided.
Don’t wear old or loose-fitting clothing that can get caught in moving machinery.
Wear serviceable leather top shoes. Athletic shoes don’t offer foot protection
Be aware that long hair and jewelry can get caught in moving machinery.
When handling rough or sharp parts, wear the proper gloves for your hands.

Which Glove is Best?
Do not use a power tool until you understand it thoroughly and it has been demonstrated by the instructor.
Use guards on power tools Always keep fingers away from the moving
cutting edges Keep the floor around the work area clean
HAND OPERATED TOOLS
Tools must be guarded
When you gamble with safety you bet your life
When using screwdrivers, place the object on a flat surface or in a Don’t hold it in your hand!
Don’t use screwdrivers as chisels or pry bars Use the correct size driver for the screw Don’t use screwdrivers with chipped tips
Use safety knives whenever possible
Keep knife blades sharp Cut away from your body Do not use knife blades as
screwdrivers Avoid working on the same
object when a co-worker is using a knife
Safety Knives
Never use a hammer with a broken, cracked, or loose handle
Use the correct hammer for the job Don’t strike a hammer face with another hammer
Use moderate pressure on hack saws to prevent blade failure
Spray saw blades lightly with lubricant prior to use Keep blades sharp
When possible use a safety chisel Don’t use chisels with mushroomed heads Use the correct chisel for the job Don’t use chisels as lever open bars
Safety chisel
Use the correct sized wrench for the job Don’t use pliers with worn grooves Don’t use pliers over-tight bolts and nuts
Use high-temperature gloves to handle hot or cold parts and equipment
Never dispose of used razor blades, broken glass, or other
sharp objects in regular trash cans! Keep a metal canspecifically for disposal of sharp objects.
26
Portable Tools
Disconnect power tools when not in use and before changing bits, blades, and other accessories
Wear anti-vibration gloves when using power tools that vibrate excessively
Never remove guards! Ground power tools unless double insulated Don’t wear gloves if they can get caught on rotating parts Secure work in a or on a bench - Don’t hold it in
your hand!
28
The spindle speed of the machine shall be checked before mounting of the wheel to be certain that it does not exceed the maximum operating speed marked on the wheel.
Max RPM
Unplug or Lockout tools before changing blades Keep tools sharp Never remove guards Use a drill press vise when drilling – Don’t hold
parts with your hands!

• Use tag lines• Wear leather gloves• Never place your hand on top of the load or between the load and a fixed object• Inspect hooks and chain slings before use
Don’t operate a machine until: Receiving proper instruction You fully understand how to use it You have permission Always wear eye protection Know and understand all the manufacturers’
safety rules
The best way to prevent back injuries is to develophabits that reduce the strain placed on the back. Thereare some basic things you can do to help.
Avoid Lifting and Bending Whenever You Can! Place objects up off the floor. If you can set Something down on a table or other elevated surface instead of on the floor, do it so you won'thave to reach down to pick it up again.
Raise / lower shelves. The best zone for lifting is between your shoulders and your waist. Put heavier objects on shelves at waist level, lighter objects onlower or higher shelves.
Take a balanced stance with your feet about a shoulder-width apart. one foot can be behind the object and the other next to it.
Squat down to lift the object, but keep your heels off the floor. Get as close to the object as you can. Keep your back straight.
Use your palms (not just your fingers) to get a secure grip on the load. Make sure you'll be able to maintain a hold on the object without switching your grip later.
Lift gradually (without jerking) using your leg, abdominal and buttock muscles and keeping the load as close to you as possible. Keep your chin tucked in so as to keep a relatively straight back and neck line.
Once you're standing, change directions by pointing your feet in the direction you want to go and turning your whole body. Avoid twisting at your waist while carrying a load.
By following these lifting guidelines and by practicing good body/back management, you can prevent back injuries on the job and at home.
Don’t forget the most commoncauses of back injury

Confined Space EntryConfined Space EntryDefinitions:
The entrant is the person who enters a confined space.
The attendant is the person who stays with the entrantoutside the confined space, and is responsible for assistingthe entrant in exiting the confined space, and calling foremergency assistance when required.
The safety representative is the qualified person whoevaluates the hazards, prescribes required equipmentand precautions and issues the Confined Space Entry Permit.
CONFINED SPACE ENTRY - CONFINED SPACE ENTRY - HAZARDSHAZARDS
Both animal and plant liferequire oxygen to live. One of theprimary hazards of enteringconfined spaces is oxygendeficiency.
When oxygen is present inconcentrations less than 19.5%the atmosphere is said to beoxygen deficient.

Oxygen in concentrationsgreater than 23% is toooxygen rich and can causecombustible materials to ignite very quickly.
CONFINED SPACE ENTRY - HAZARDSCONFINED SPACE ENTRY - HAZARDS
Oxygen deficiency can be caused by severalprocesses:
Consumption: oxygen is used up by the person who is in theconfined space and turned into carbondioxide.
Displacement: denser materials push the oxygen out ofthe occupied space.
Reaction: oxygen is reacted with other materialsto make other compounds.

It’s not so easy is it?
Hand injuries can be associated with working with machinery or equipment
The materials being used or the job process might be hazardous
Hand tools or powered hand tools may be faulty or improperly used
Stay safe, someone at home is waiting for you
The most common causes of hand injuries are: Carelessness Lack of awareness dullness pay no attention for safety procedures interruption
To avoid hand injuries: Know the hazards and dangers in the job to be done Be aware of pinch points Be aware of hot areas Be aware of rotating or moving surfaces Automated machinery may be controlled by remote
control, or delayed timing devices that cause the machine to start automatically
Loose clothing and jewelry may be caught up in moving machinery
Never remove machine safeguards or operate machinery with safeguards removed

Slips and falls injure more people than any other type of accident.
Pay attention to hazards such as wet or slippery floors and old carpet or tile.
Eliminate hazards when detected. Never run at work. Use only authorized walkways or passageway,
especially in warehouses or around machinery. Always hold onto the handrail when walking
up or down stairs. Use fall protection when working in an elevated
area.
Don’t take chances. If you can’t extinguish the fire safely, leave the fire fighting to the professionals.
Learn where fire extinguishers at your facility are located and make sure you know how to operate them. If time permits, extinguish the fire safely.
Know where emergency exists are located and make sure that they aren’t blocked.
In the event of a fire, personal safety is the greatest concern. Activate the nearest pull alarm to alert everyone else and notify your supervisor.
Never use electrical tools near water. Use Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI)
around water source. Report damaged switches, plugs, cords,
receptacles, tools and other electrical hazards to your supervisor immediately.
