Like all industrial workplaces, machine shops contain equipment and work activities that can be hazardous to workers. This video will show you how to use prescribed safety precautions and working in and around machine devices. Objectives Explain the function of machine safety devices. Explain when power should be turned off when performing maintenance tasks. Describe the appropriate clothing and PPE to wear while machining. Maintain safe body position while operating or working around machines. Machine safety devices. Emergency stops are designed to stop the machine quickly in the event of emergency where there is risk of injury. Guards are designed to prevent operators from accessing unsafe components of the machine or to shield from projectiles and rotating hazards. Share pins are engineered components of the machine that are designed to fail and overload to prevent significant damage or serious injury or death. Never remove bypass or alter any machine safety devices. Never operate a machine if you are unfamiliar with its controls. Power to machine needs to be turned off when performing maintenance for repairs or when a worker could access any part of the machine that could cause injury if the machine were to start unexpected. Power to machine must be controlled so it may not be restored in and burn, either unplugged machine or lock out the power at the disk next machine. Wearing incorrect clothing or personal protective equipment around machine equipment has the potential to cause injury to a worker. Anything they could get caught in a machine presents a risk. Avoid loose clothing. Roll up sleeves or wear short sleeves. Remove rings, watches and bracelets. Never wear gloves while operating machine unless they are nitrower latex, which will tear off snag. Remove or tuck in necktie's chains and necklaces. Tie back long hair and beards or wear a hair net. Always wear a CSA approved safety toe work boots. Anti-slip treads are recommended. Always wear approved safety glasses beside shields. When there is a risk of hot projectile striking your face, wear a full face shield, i.e. grinding or hot work. Always. Clamp and mount the workpiece securely in the machine. Cut in the correct direction or the workpiece may be projected from the machine. Maintain safe body position. Consider the line of fire should the workpiece become projected from the machine. Remember, these safety precautions can prevent the serious injury or death of you or a coworker. Always follow these rules while working on a round machine shovel. Stop any unsafe work performed by you or a colleague. Report all injuries and near misses.
