Accidents

Page 8: Safety In the Ag Mechanics Shop Mr. Mederos Agriculture Mechanics I Agriculture Mechanics II Agriculture Mechanics III Agriculture Mechanics IV.

Protective Clothing

Safety Glasses- Offer minimum eye protection and are the first line of defense for the eyes. Safety Glasses must be worn at all times in the shop!!!!!!!!!!!

Hair Restraints- Hair must be tied back in the shop. Some accidents are caused by hair getting caught in the machines.

Page 9: Safety In the Ag Mechanics Shop Mr. Mederos Agriculture Mechanics I Agriculture Mechanics II Agriculture Mechanics III Agriculture Mechanics IV.

Protective Clothing

Coveralls- are recommended to protect clothing and your body in the shop.

Aprons- can be worn but are limited protection

Shop Coats- are recommended and work well

No shorts, skirts, dresses or ragged clothing are allowed

Page 10: Safety In the Ag Mechanics Shop Mr. Mederos Agriculture Mechanics I Agriculture Mechanics II Agriculture Mechanics III Agriculture Mechanics IV.

Protective clothing

Footwear- leather shoes are recommended, closed toed shoes with backs are the least requirement.

Absolutely, NO open toed shoes, flip flops, or high heels will be worn in the shop

Page 11: Safety In the Ag Mechanics Shop Mr. Mederos Agriculture Mechanics I Agriculture Mechanics II Agriculture Mechanics III Agriculture Mechanics IV.

Protective Clothing

Gloves provide protection to the hands from heat and cold.

Hard Hats- are needed when objects are being moved overhead or flying objects can be encountered

Masks and Respirators- Should be worn to filter out dust, fumes and particles from the air

Page 12: Safety In the Ag Mechanics Shop Mr. Mederos Agriculture Mechanics I Agriculture Mechanics II Agriculture Mechanics III Agriculture Mechanics IV.

Protective Clothing

Ear Muffs and Ear Plugs- should be worn when operating equipment to protect your ears from the noise. Cal- OSHA has established that the maximum noise level is 90 (dB) for eight hours

Oxygen

Page 15: Safety In the Ag Mechanics Shop Mr. Mederos Agriculture Mechanics I Agriculture Mechanics II Agriculture Mechanics III Agriculture Mechanics IV.

Classes of Fire Extinguishers

Class A- Ordinary Combustibles includes wood, papers, and trash. No presence of electricity and (or) liquid

Class B- Flammable Liquids, include fuels, greases, paint, and other liquids as long as they are not in the presence of electricity

Page 16: Safety In the Ag Mechanics Shop Mr. Mederos Agriculture Mechanics I Agriculture Mechanics II Agriculture Mechanics III Agriculture Mechanics IV.

Classes of Fire Extinguishers

Class C- Electrical Equipment. Class C fires involve the presence of electricity.

Class D- Combustible Materials are metals that burn.

Page 17: Safety In the Ag Mechanics Shop Mr. Mederos Agriculture Mechanics I Agriculture Mechanics II Agriculture Mechanics III Agriculture Mechanics IV.

Emergencies Or Accidents

1) Notify the Teacher

2) Keep Everyone Calm

3) Set Off the Fire Alarm

4) Call the Fire Department

5) Clear the Area

6) Use Fire Extinguishers if instructed to.

Page 18: Safety In the Ag Mechanics Shop Mr. Mederos Agriculture Mechanics I Agriculture Mechanics II Agriculture Mechanics III Agriculture Mechanics IV.

Safety comes first!

Always wear safety glasses.

When 5 with heated objects, always wear gloves.

No running or horseplay.

Learn to do a job the right way.

Report all injuries to the instructor.

Observe all warning signs or tags.

Page 19: Safety In the Ag Mechanics Shop Mr. Mederos Agriculture Mechanics I Agriculture Mechanics II Agriculture Mechanics III Agriculture Mechanics IV.

Turn off machines when not in use or during repair.Unless you have been taught to run a machine, don’t use it.Always use the proper tool for the job.Avoid wearing loose or overly baggy clothing when working with machinery.Be aware of people around you at all times.Use correct shaded lens when welding.Know where fire escapes and fire extinguishers are.

Housekeeping

Cleaning work areas

Sweeping—prevent slips and falls

Keeping designated walking areas clear of debris

Restoring equipment and tools after job is completed

Page 22: Safety In the Ag Mechanics Shop Mr. Mederos Agriculture Mechanics I Agriculture Mechanics II Agriculture Mechanics III Agriculture Mechanics IV.

Fire Prevention

Discard frayed cords and wires

Keep flammable liquids away from heat

Class C fire extinguishers for electrical fires with a 15 foot maximum distance apart

Page 23: Safety In the Ag Mechanics Shop Mr. Mederos Agriculture Mechanics I Agriculture Mechanics II Agriculture Mechanics III Agriculture Mechanics IV.

General Management

Safety programs—training, meetings, etc.

MSDS sheets

Emergency phone numbers

Page 24: Safety In the Ag Mechanics Shop Mr. Mederos Agriculture Mechanics I Agriculture Mechanics II Agriculture Mechanics III Agriculture Mechanics IV.

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” when it comes to eye protection

Always wear proper eye protection when working in the shop

A welder must be protected from harmful light radiation given off by the welding process

For welding you will be using chipping goggles and a welding helmet

SAFETY: Eye Protection

Page 25: Safety In the Ag Mechanics Shop Mr. Mederos Agriculture Mechanics I Agriculture Mechanics II Agriculture Mechanics III Agriculture Mechanics IV.

Here are

examples of

proper eye

protection

Page 26: Safety In the Ag Mechanics Shop Mr. Mederos Agriculture Mechanics I Agriculture Mechanics II Agriculture Mechanics III Agriculture Mechanics IV.

Dress CodeWear properly fitted clothes.

When welding, sleeves should be buttoned and gloves should be worn.

Wear boots or high top; Tightly laced shoes.

Do not wear loose clothing, shirt tails, and unbuttoned sleeves around power equipment.

Do not wear clothes that you do not want to get dirty.

Page 27: Safety In the Ag Mechanics Shop Mr. Mederos Agriculture Mechanics I Agriculture Mechanics II Agriculture Mechanics III Agriculture Mechanics IV.

Here’s a good example of a welder wearing all the proper welding protection

Page 28: Safety In the Ag Mechanics Shop Mr. Mederos Agriculture Mechanics I Agriculture Mechanics II Agriculture Mechanics III Agriculture Mechanics IV.

Behavior

Most accidents are caused by carelessness

Caused by human error

Refrain from getting involved in poor

shop behavior:scuffling playing with tools

tripping running

pushing hurrying projects

disobeying shop rules loud talking

Page 29: Safety In the Ag Mechanics Shop Mr. Mederos Agriculture Mechanics I Agriculture Mechanics II Agriculture Mechanics III Agriculture Mechanics IV.

Welding Fumes

Welding fumes can be harmful to the welder causing implications such as: Irritation of the respiratory tractMetal fume feverA condition known as siderosisSlightly increase the risk of lung cancer

For these reasons, one should take precaution with welding fumes

Page 30: Safety In the Ag Mechanics Shop Mr. Mederos Agriculture Mechanics I Agriculture Mechanics II Agriculture Mechanics III Agriculture Mechanics IV.

Welding Fumes

Welding should be done in a well ventilated areaShould attempt to control fumes at the source Common ways

Extracted benches Local exhaust

ventilation
