THE TECNOLOGICAL PROCESS

5. Health and safety at the workshop0

The technology workshop can be a dangerous place. We have to follow
some basic safety rules:

1. Keep our workstation clean

2. Use tools properly
3. Do not drink or eat at the workshop
4. The long hair back (pony-tails) and keep scarves out.
5. Do not interrupt classmates or walk in front of them.

THE TECNOLOGICAL PROCESS
5.1 Health and safety at the workshop. Signs
Signalling at the workshop is very important. Signs avoid accidents, the
warn us about danger or tell us the safety equipment to wear.

We can distinguish signs according to:

 Shape
 Frame
 Background
 Symbol

We have the following types of signalling:

 Obligation
 Prohibition
 Danger
 Evacuation
 Fire-fighting
