Workshop Safety Rules

V. Ryan © 2003-2021

Before you can use equipment and machine

attempt practical work in a workshop or
outdoors, you must understand basic safety
rules. These rules will help keep you and
others to be safe in the working area.
Always think about working safely. If you
avoid considering safety. Not only it is a risk of
having an accident but so are those who work
near you. They could have an accident
because of his irresponsible behavior.

ACTIVITY #1:
Instructions: Read the safety rules carefully. Then use a dictionary to translate them into Spanish,
write them in your notebook.

Why do you think Safety Rules are important?

If everyone follows safety rules, everyone will be safe and learn how to use tools and equipment
properly and efficiently.

1) Always listen carefully to the teacher and follow instructions.

The instructions given by your teacher, his / her demonstrations on the use of equipment and tools,
will help you understand how to work in a workshop safely and efficiently.
2) Do not run / rush in the working area.
You could ‘bump’ into another pupil and cause an accident. You could run into a machine or bench,
which could cause a serious injury.
3) Know where the emergency stop buttons are positioned in the working area.
If you see an accident at the other side of the area where you are working, you can use the emergency
stop button to turn off all electrical power.
4) Always wear a hard hat, glasses and electrical gloves.
It will protect and isolate your body.
5) Wear good strong shoes. Training shoes are not suitable.
Tools and equipment can have sharp edges and are usually heavy. Good shoes prevent damage to feet,
if a piece of equipment or a tool, is dropped on feet.

6) Bags should be stored away, during practical sessions in the workshop or working area.
A person can easily trip over a bag left on the floor and accidentally push into someone using a machine.
This could cause a serious accident.

7) When learning how to use a machine or tools, listen very carefully to all the instructions given by
the teacher. Ask questions, especially if you do not fully understand.
It is very important to ask questions, especially when learning how to use machines and tools, if there is
a need to clarify instructions. Using a machine without a full understanding of its use, could easily lead
to an accident.

8) Do not use machines or tools, if you have not been shown how to operate it safely, by your teacher.
It is extremely dangerous (and illegal), to use a machine in the workshop, without having followed and
understood, all the teacher instructions.

9) Always be patient, never rush practical work.

The most productive and efficient ‘craftspeople / engineers’, work patiently and never rush their work.
Working at a safe, steady pace, is how skilled professions complete their tasks.

10) Keep hands / hair and clothing away from moving/rotating parts of machinery.
Loose Clothing (e.g. a school tie) and long hair, can be caught in the moving parts of a machine
(e.g. the chuck of a drill). Hands / clothing should must be kept away, from the moving / rotating parts.
Long hair should be tied back.

11) Use hand tools carefully, keeping both hands behind the cutting edge.
Never place a hand in front of a cutting tool (e.g. a chisel). There is always a possibility, of the tool
slipping and the sharp edge slicing into the hand / fingers.

12) Report any damage / faults to machines/equipment. Damage or a faulty part, could cause an accident.
A broken or damaged tool can be dangerous. For example, a hammer with a loose hammer head, should
be reported to the teacher. It is always possible that the hammer head will ‘fly off’ the handle, when it is
in use.

13) Keep your workbench tidy. When you have finished with a tool / piece of equipment, return it to
its storage cupboard / rack.
A bench top, crowded with tools, will eventually lead to one or more, being knocked on to the floor, or on
to feet. Tools are damaged easily and people can be injured.

14) Never distract another pupil, when they are working on a machine or using tools / equipment.
A distracted pupil could have an accident, as a distraction will take their focus and concentration away
from the work they are doing. If using a tool / machine, a distraction can easily lead to an accident.

What is an Electric Circuit?

An Electric Circuit is the conductive path for flow of current or electricity is called electric circuit or
electrical circuit. A conductive wire is used to establish relation among source of voltage and load.
An ON / OFF switch and a fuse is also used in between the source and load.

An electric circuit is composed of electrical components that form a continuous conducting path
connected to the terminals of a power source. The basic components of electric circuits are
voltage source (such as a battery), load, and conductive pathway.

ACTIVITY #3:
Instructions: In your notebook, draw or paste images and then write the name for each part. Repeat 5
times each. (En su cuaderno, dibuje o pegue imágenes y luego escribe el nombre de cada parte, repita 5
veces cada palabra) OBS. You can use the pictures from this material. (Puede utilizar las imagines de este material)
