Safety Precautions
Train all employees
Every person working in a machine shop must be trained on the equipment present,
even if they may not use it frequently. A thorough knowledge of tools and parts is necessary to
maintain high-quality safety standards.
Wear PPE
PPE provided by the employer should meet all safety standards established by the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration. According to Safety Services Company, the
most important gear include:
- Goggles – When operating machinery, wearing goggles protects eyes from flying
debris and sparks. This is true even for workers not operating machines, as others
engaged in work could cause debris to fly.
- Gloves – Especially if workers utilize harsh chemicals, gloves should be worn to
protect skin and nails. Thick gloves can also protect against rust or cuts from tools.
- Respirators – In workshops with potentially harmful fumes, OSHA-compliant
respirators should be worn by all employees.
While PPE is required, there are other clothing items to be actively avoided in a machine
shop. The following items could drastically increase the potential for injury:
- Loose-fitting clothing – Anything too loose could be sucked or fed into a machine
or caught on equipment.
- Open-toed shoes – Articles or shoes that expose the body must be avoided as they
increase the surface area exposed to harmful chemicals, tools and fumes.
Prior to utilizing any machine, workers should inspect it for hazards. Make sure the
previous user shut the machine down properly and there are no exposed sections, parts or
wiring that could cause malfunction. In addition, once in use, keep ears open for any aural clues
that the machine is operating incorrectly. Strange sounds could indicate a problem.
