  3. General Safety Stuff

  4. Safety Glasses • WRONG!!! • Safety glasses protect your eyes • Must have an ANSI Z87-1 rating • Mandatory • when working with all tools • when working on any bot • when in any area where a warning sign is posted • Safety glasses are cheap – eyes are priceless!

  5. Proper Clothing & Footwear • Wear clothing that fits the work • We play with metal & tools! • No open-toed shoes • This includes flip flops & bare feet • Hot solder makes for interesting nail polish • No long loose hair • Pull back long hair in a band/bun • Or tuck under a shirt • No loose robes, etc. • Loose-fitting clothes & jewelry look different as they spin with moving parts

  6. Housekeeping Rules • Keep the Work Area clean! • Cluttered work areas invite accidents • Keep the floor free of scraps and oil • Sparks can ignite scraps, sawdust and solvents • Remove all cuttings and chips by using brushes or pliers, never by hands • Water conducts electricity • If the work surface is wet, you have a problem • Always keep hands and tools dry • Cleanliness is next to a perfect robot

  7. Behavior Around Tools • EXCEPT AROUND SOMEONE USING TOOLS!!! • Horseplay & pranks around tools cause distractions • And are dangerous

  8. Tool Safety

  9. Tool Safety Mr. Fairley • KNOW THY MACHINE / KNOW THY TOOL / KNOW THY LIMITS • Learn the applications, limitations & potential of each power tool or hand tool • Train to use the tool or machine • Inspect all screws, nuts, bolts & movable parts to make sure they are tightened • Safety guards are useless oddities if not in place and in proper working order - Keep all guards in place • Respect each tool for what is & can do for you or to you

  10. Tool Knowledge • Knowledge of tools & equipment • If you are not familiar with the tool or machine, do not use it! • State of Mind • If you are not awake or focused on the work, don’t attempt it • Avoid Distractions • NEVER look away from your work when operating a power tool • NEVER leave a machine running unattended • Bottom line: If in doubt, ask a Team Mentor or Moderator
