SAFETY

Safety instruction is essential for all students to develop hazard awareness and a serious safety attitude. It helps in preparing for safety in work areas, recognizing safety symbols, and understanding safety procedures. Safety instruction is emphasized at federal, state, local governments, schools, private agencies/businesses, and among tool and machine manufacturers to protect citizens, maintain productivity, and avoid lawsuits. Making safety a habit is crucial to prevent accidents caused by hazards in various tool categories such as cutting, shock, torsion, and material handling tools. Recognizing immediate, potential, and hidden hazards can prevent accidents through proper housekeeping, maintenance, and maintaining the right attitude. Following safety rules, staying alert, and seeking help when needed are crucial steps in preventing accidents, especially in school lab settings where eye protection is mandated by law.
