Need for Research Safety is the most important part of shop.
Safety means guarding against damage to a machine, tools, and materials, as well as people.
It is the duty of the teacher to teach about safety. Because of this, I demand that students observe all safety rules in shop and receive proper instructions before operating equipment. The following is a safety sheet I give to each student so they can start becoming aware of the basic shop safety rules that must be followed. Then each student is tested over each machine before operation is permitted. A clean shop promotes safety.
