Safety Training�Station to Station (day 1)
Safety Culture
Safety Culture is the team’s attitude about safety.
Safety will always be our #1 priority.
The Safety Captain is your point-of-contact for quick safety questions. They will also keep an eye out for unsafe behavior, and will make recommendations if something can be done in a safer way.
If the safety captain or a mentor asks you to do something differently, listen to them.
Safety Basics
Slow down. Machines don’t have brains. Use yours.
Use common sense. Think about your plan before using a piece of equipment.
No horseplay, no running in the shop.
If you do not feel comfortable using a piece of equipment, do not use it.
PPE: Personal Protective Equipment
Safety glasses or side shields at all times in the workshop
Close-toed shoes
Hair tied back
Gloves if working with sharp objects
No baggy clothing
No dangling clothing or jewelry
Who can use the power tools?
What should be the first thing you do if someone near you is injured?
Only those who have been trained by a mentor and have demonstrated safe usage.
Notify an adult/mentor immediately, or send someone else to notify an adult.
Where do we go in the event of a fire?
Out the nearest exit (exterior doors by the bathrooms). Stop work immediately and go outside.
Gather in the field outside the building so everyone can be accounted for by an adult/mentor.
Future Safety Talks
This is just the beginning of our Safety Training.
We will continue to have Safety Talks before each meeting if we are in the workshop.
