Safety in the work placeTRANSCRIPT
It’s everyone’s
responsibility!
Why Safety Instruction?
Why Safety Instruction?
Develop an awareness of hazards and become more safety conscious at school, work or at home.
Develop a serious attitude toward the use and practice of safety procedures
To prepare for safety before entering the work area, in the work area, at a workstation and on leaving the work area
To recognize safety symbols, color codes and safety equipment
Emphasis on Safety in Society
Federal Government
State Government
Local Governments
Schools
Private Agencies/Businesses/Industry
Manufacturers of tools and machines
WHY?
Federal, State and Local
Governments pass laws in
order to protect citizens
(taxpayers)
Schools are responsible to
parents for sending kids
home in the same condition
they arrive each day.
WHY?
Private Agencies/Businesses/Industry are
held accountable for providing a safe
working environment for their employees.
1. (Law suits cut into profits.)
2. Company is less productive when
employees are lost or disabled.
3. Keeping experienced employees safe is
more productive and profitable than
constantly training replacements.
WHY?
Manufacturers of tools and machines
want to avoid lawsuits or recalls from
defective products. That’s bad P.R.
and will hurt sales. They also want you
to come back and buy their products
again.
Where Do Most Accidents Happen?
At Home
We Think
We’re Safe
and Drop
Our Guard
…and that
false sense
of security
can lead to
an
Accident!
Tool Categories
The Four Categories of Tools

Torsion Tools – These tools work by twisting.
Material Handling Tools – This group of
tools are used to control material in a variety of
ways: Moving, holding, lifting, pressing, prying
apart, etc.

Recognizing Hazards
What is a Hazard?
A hazard is a
dangerous
situation that
could cause
an accident.
Three Types of Hazards
Immediate Hazard – A situation that is
visible and presents an immediate danger.
Potential Hazard – A situation that is
visible but could become dangerous if
combined with other situations or events.
Hidden Hazard – An existing dangerous
situation that is hidden from obvious view.
Immediate Hazards

School Lab Safety
The only law affecting work in school labs is:
Georgia Code 32-4201. This law mandates the wearing
of safety goggles by every student, teacher, and visitor
participating in or observing chemical, physical, or
combined chemical physical activities involving
caustic or explosive materials, hot liquids or solids,
injurious radiation or other hazards.
Protective Safety Devices
Optional Safety Devices
Protective equipment
that is available but the
individual must choose
to use. It does not
work automatically.
Safety Glasses are stored in
sterilizing cabinet
Optional Safety Devices
Earphones
protect
against
permanent
hearing loss.
Non-Optional Safety Devices
Protective
equipment that is
operating whether
or not we decide to
use them.
What Body Parts Are At Risk
Accidents Take Their Toll
Businesses spend $170 BILLION a year on costs associated with occupational injuries and illnesses – expenditures that come straight out of company profits. In addition Lost productivity from injuries and illnesses costs companies $60 BILLION each year. – O.S.H.A
Auto/Home owners insurance companies rates are higher in some places These factors determine the rates you pay: Where you live (apartments vs. home) or drive the most, your sex, age group, your accident record etc.
The higher the risk that they’ll have to pay, the higher your rates will be.

What Causes Most Accidents?
Fire Safety
Three Elements of a Fire
Sources of
Ingredient of the Air that covers the Earth.
Oxygen Tanks (Oxy-Acetylene Welding) Very Explosive in its pure state
Sources of
Man
Friction
Sparks
Magnified Sunlight
Electrical Defects
Spontaneous Combustion
Sources of
A fuel is anything that will burn.
Different elements have different Flashpoints. (the temperature at which a fuel starts to burn)
Describe how a Match Starts to Burn
Not enough friction to reach the wood’s flashpoint
Not enough friction to reach the red chemical’s flashpoint
Just enough friction to reach the white chemical’s
flashpoint which ignites the red chemical which burns hot
enough to reach the wood’s flashpoint
The match continues to burn until one of the
three elements are eliminated
Take away the Oxygen
The match continues to burn until one of the
three elements are eliminated
Take away the Heat
The match continues to burn until one of the
three elements are eliminated
Take away the Fuel
Classifications of Common Fires
Extinguishers are placed in easy-to-
see & reach positions.
Extinguishers receive
regular inspections
Our Fire Extinguishers
IF THE FIRE CAN’T
BE PUT OUT IN
15 SECONDS…
Smoke kills more people
than the fire itself.
NEVER USE WATER TO EXTINGUISH:
Flame floats on water / Water conducts Electricity
Both could cause serious injury or death.
Electrical Safety
Safety Around Electricity
Never Overload Circuits
Wires could get hot enough to melt
the insulation and cause a short
circuit inside the wall.
What is a Short Circuit?
Electrons are forced to move through the device when the
circuit is working properly
But Electrons will ALWAYS look for the shortest path back to
where they came from…even if that means jumping (arcing)
between two conductors which could electrocute or start fires.
Safety Around Electricity
Capacitors inside the
back of your TV store
over 10,000 volts and
can electrocute you
EVEN WHEN IT’S
UNPLUGGED!!
