Workshop Safety Practices
Read the workshop scenarios carefully. Think about how to keep yourself and others safe. Follow your teacher’s instructions and your workshop’s safety rules; never use a tool or handle a hazardous substance unless you have been shown how.
Getting ready to work
A safe workshop starts with good choices before any tool is switched on.
1.Maia is about to use a machine that can throw off small pieces of material and make a loud noise. Which eye and hearing protection should she wear?
2.Choose the safest clothing for working near machinery.
- A loose hoodie with dangling cords and open sandals
- Tied-back hair, close-fitting clothing and sturdy closed-toe shoes
- A scarf, jewellery and rolled-up sleeves
- Bare feet and a long, loose sleeve
3.Before using an unfamiliar power tool, what is the best first step?
- Try it briefly to see how it works
- Ask a classmate to show you while it is running
- Wait for instruction and permission, then check the tool and its safety features
- Remove the guard so you can see the tool more clearly
4.A power tool has a cracked casing and a damaged cord. What should you do?
5.A workshop has a loose cord across a walkway and a spill on the floor. For each hazard, describe a practical action that would reduce the risk.
6.A student with long hair is about to work near a drill press. What should the student do before working there?
Responding and taking responsibility
Recognise when to stop, get help and follow the workshop’s emergency procedures.
7.Match each situation with the safest first response. Follow the teacher’s instructions and the workshop’s emergency procedures.
- A small cut
- A chemical spill
- A fire or immediate danger
- Something splashes into an eye
- Keep people away and alert the teacher; do not clean it up unless instructed and trained.
- Tell the teacher immediately and use the eyewash as instructed.
- Raise the alarm, follow the evacuation instructions and go to the designated assembly point.
- Tell the teacher and get first aid; avoid touching another person’s blood.
8.True or false: If a machine guard makes it harder to see your work, it is safe to remove the guard while the machine is running.
TrueFalse
9.A classmate says, “I’ve used this tool before, so I don’t need to check it today.” Write one respectful sentence you could use to encourage a safer choice.
10.Before leaving your work area, name two actions that help keep the workshop safe for the next person.
