All work performed in the lab will be carried out in the safest possible manner. Anyperson working in the shop agrees to be safety conscious at all times. It is

1. Do not enter the lab unless the teacher is present.
2. Eye protection is required when in the Shop, in the Finish Room, when using any power tool or at any other time you suspect there may be eye hazards present.
3. Eye protection that is issued is the only approved eye protection for the laboratory work.
Eye protection must have clear lenses while working in the shop.
4. ABSOLUTELY NO HORSEPLAY IN THE SHOP. Others can be injured by your actions.
5. Proper clothing must be worn. No loose, ragged or sloppy clothing will be allowed. No
open toed footwear will be worn. All loose jewelry must be removed before operating a machine.
6. LONG HAIR IS DANGEROUS. Special care must be taken to prevent accidents. Hair (bangs) will not cover your face or eyes in the shop. Long hair shall be held back by a cap, headband or hairnet.
7. Always clean your area when through.
8. Safety lines are for your protection. Stay behind them unless you are using a machine within the safety line area.
9. Tools and materials can be very dangerous they are to be used only on teacher approved projects. Devote all of your attention to the machine or tool you are using.

12. Always disconnect power before changing blades or belts. 13. Never leave a machine until all motion has stopped. 14. Throwing any object in the shop is strictly forbidden.
I have read the general safety listed above and my teacher, Mr. Campbell, has explained
them to me. I fully understand them and agree to obey them at all times, while I am
working in the lab. If, at any time, I do not understand what is the safe way to use any hand tool or power tool I will ask my teacher for help before I proceed.
