Make sure students know and understand pertinent safe practices relating to the activities in which they are engaged.

Require students to wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment such as goggles, aprons, hard hats, gloves, etc. during shop activities. Instruct and demonstrate the use of power tools or other hazardous equipment before permitting use by a student. Permit initial use only under direct supervision of the instructor. Turn off all power tools when the instructor must leave the shop. Exercise continuous supervision to see that shop safety practices are observed. The instructor must be a model and set an example for the students to follow by personally obeying safety rules and practices.

16. Accident Reports Utilize accident investigation reports as guidelines for corrective action in the school shop safety program. Instruction: 1. Develop in each student a sense of responsibility for his/her own safety and the safety of others. Acquaint students with both general and specific safety practices to be followed while working in the shop. Help students to recognize situations involving hazards and take precautions necessary for self-protection and the elimination of these hazards.

17. Family and Consumer Sciences * Some simple safety precautions can prevent many accidents that might otherwise occur during Family and Consumer Sciences instruction. These precautions are: Use a pilot light for lighting a gas range, if possible, otherwise use safety matches. When a gas burner is lighted, place the lighted match on the burner, then turn on the gas, not the opposite. Paper or flammable materials must not be placed on or near a stove.

When cooking on the range, turn pan handles to the back or side of the range to prevent spilling. 6. Disconnect appliances by pulling out the plug, not by jerking the cord. 7. When deep frying, fill kettle no more than half full so that it will not bubble over when food is added. 8. If fat or grease catches fire, cover kettle with lid until fire is smothered. Never throw water on a grease fire. Use only an ABC ( Multi-Purpose Fire Extinguisher).

19. Family and Consumer Sciences cont. 9. Always cut food away from body. 10. Always use pot holders for handling pots and pans. 11.
