General Shop Safety

  1. Do not use any equipment you are not comfortable using. If at any time you are unsure of what you are doing, stop immediately and ask for help.
  2. Do not use any machine that is not in good working order. unplug The equipment,leave a note on the machine and notify the metalshop Lead-Jeremiah Burian.
  3. Always check tools prior to use.
  4. Wear safety glasses at all times when tools are in use in the shop area.
  5. Ear protection is recommended
  6. No open-toed shoes or loose clothing
  7. Remove objects on hands and wrists
  8. Remove dangly necklaces and earrings
  9. Restrain long hair to prevent entanglement
  10. Do not leave machines running unattended.
  11. Never talk to or disturb anyone operating power tools, forge or welding equipment. If you must talk to an operator wait until the operator finishes the operation.
  12. Be aware of the work going on around you.
  13. Wear proper PPE (personal protective equipment) Safety glasses welding sleeves, grinding shields etc.

Metalshop Safety

  1. You are responsible for cleaning your machines, your work space, and putting all tools away after use. Scrap metal should be placed in designated locations. Use vacuums or hand brushes to clean machinery.
  2. Users who consistently fail in their clean-up responsibilities may be denied shop access.
  3. Make sure machines are in the “off” position and motion has stopped, before leaving them after use.
  4. Make sure all gas cylinders are in the off position while not in use.
  5. All safety guards must be kept in place while operating equipment. If a guard or safety device is an impediment to safe operation of a machine - ask for help.
  6. Use equipment only for its intended use.
  7. If you have made an adjustment to a piece of equipment, return it to its normal position after you are done.
  8. All guests are the responsibility of the member. Guests are NOT allowed to use equipment. Children under 8 years old are not allowed for safety.

Machine shop Specific Safety

  1. This includes all mills and lathes in the metalshop.
  2. Lead or authorized peer certification is required to operate this equipment. This can be as easy as showing the Lead or peer the proper use of said equipment and describing experience.
  3. Due to the high level of technical understanding and cost of the Tormach CNC mill, extensive training will be required before use.

Welding shop Specific Safety

  1. Use the proper face shield when grinding and a welding helmet when welding.
  2. closed-toed shoes.
  3. Wear the appropriate glove while welding.
  4. We suggest you wear ear protection to prevent sparks from entering your ear canal.
  5. NEVER weld on or near anything that's been cleaned with a chlorinated hydrocarbon like brake-cleaner. When combined with UV light, chlorinated hydrocarbons can create phosgene gas, which can cause serious injury or death. Ventilation will not prevent poisoning.
  6. No galvanized (zinc plated) material should be welded without removal of the galvanized coating near the weld zone to protect from poison gas release.

Fire

  1. Make sure the hot work area is free from all flammable materials such as flammable liquids, paper, etc. Do not wear clothing or gloves that have been exposed to flammable liquids.

Burns

  1. Welded metal will remain hot for several minutes after it is welded.

UV Burns

  1. The light emitted from a weld arc is brighter than the sun. Do not look at the arc without wearing a full-faced welding mask with a shade 9 or darker filter plate.

Compressed Gas Cylinders

  1. Argon and CO2 are inert, nontoxic gases normally present in the atmosphere. However, if allowed to fill an enclosed area these gases can fully displace breathable air, causing asphyxiation and death. Greater potential danger is the valve being knocked off the cylinder, turning it into a rocket powerful enough to severely injure or kill people and damage equipment and the building itself.
  2. The following guidelines must be followed at all times:
    • Storing
      • Cylinders must ALWAYS remain upright and NEVER be placed horizontally.
      • Cylinders must be secured with a non-combustible material (metal) to an immovable object to prevent them from falling.
    • Moving
      • Cylinders must be securely capped.
