Machining 10, 20, 30

Note: Teachers should determine students’ familiarity with general safety in the work area. This will help determine if they require a review of concepts or more in-depth learning.

Outcome

Apply principles and techniques for injury prevention to ensure safety in the work area.

Indicators

(a)	Recognize and apply safe and fair work practices including freedom from violence, harassment and bullying.
(b)	Reflect on personal and collective responsibility for, and commitment to, promoting and supporting workplace safety.
(c)	Identify industry standard personal protective equipment (PPE) such as safety goggles, footwear, hearing and respiratory protection, headwear and protective clothing.
(d)	Review the fire evacuation plan for the work practices including the location of fire alarms, fire extinguishers and exits.
(e)	Describe ways to reduce personal injury or material and equipment damage resulting from unsafe work practices or environments.
(f)	Discuss appropriate actions in case of an injury or accident, such as whom to contact and first-aid procedures.
(g)	Explain the purpose of ventilation in a confined environment as it relates to controlling air quality (e.g., welding fumes, plastic off-gas and cutting, fluid misting).
(h)	Identify hazardous materials and relevant Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) procedures.
(i)	Describe the importance of a clean work area and methods used to maintain a clean work area.
(j)	Identify risks and potential safety hazards (e.g., tools on floor, exposed live wires and extension cords).
(k)	Describe the hierarchy of controls to control hazards and mitigate risks in machining workspaces and environments.
(l)	Describe control measures using the hierarchy of controls to limit risks of expected physical hazards associated with machining (e.g., workstation ergonomics, slip, trips and falls, repetitive strain).
(m)	Demonstrate an understanding of procedures (e.g., safety inspections and audits that include ergonomics of workspace lay-outs) to ensure safe practices in the machining workspace.
