2. Wear gloves
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
7. Follow instructions
Only operate tools according to manufacturers' instructions.
Now that you know the basic safety rules it's time to check out some quality tools.
WORST-CASE SCENARIO Prevention is better than cure. A smart thing is to be prepared for the
worst. A classic first-aid kit is no luxury but a first-aid kit for the eyes
can also be an essential first aid. If the employee comes into contact
with chemicals, a safety shower is mandatory, so that he can rinse
the substances off his body at any moment.
PREVENTING ACCIDENTS: PICTOGRAMS
Not only is preparing your workshop for accidents a smart thing to
do, it is even smarter to organise your workshop in such a way that
no serious accidents can take place. A simple way to make your
workshop safer is to use pictograms: indicating flammable materials,
the necessary use of hearing protection, indicating emergency exits
After cleaning, use an all-purpose oil, such as WD-40 to lubricate tools with adjustable parts.
Lightly spray other metal tool parts as well (avoid getting oil on handles), such as screwdrivers
and bladed lawn and garden tools. Wipe away any excess with a rag before storing. This will
help fight corrosion and rust.
*Store Tools Properly
A proper storage system is a must for hand tools. A toolbox, storage container, shelving unit,
or a combination of all of these can be used to keep your tools protected and in peak
condition. Ideally, your storage units should be kept somewhere with minimal exposure to
moisture and temperature changes. Remember to keep tools in their respective places or hung
on designated hangers when a job has been completed.
*Clean Power Tools
Power tools such as electric drills, saws, sanders and nailers need routine maintenance just
like your hand tools. Because of their mechanical and electrical parts, power tools are more
susceptible to problems caused by poor maintenance, dust and debris accumulation and
general malfunction. The following are some helpful tips on how to clean and properly store
your tools.
Dust and grime can bring your power tools to a grinding halt if left unchecked over time. Wipe
them clean with a rag after every job has been completed and then store them. Deep clean
periodically by using a damp cloth. Get into exhausts and intakes and other hard-to-clean
areas with lightly oiled cotton swabs or other slender tools.
*Inspect for Wear or Damage
Periodically inspect power tools for any signs of wear or damage. Pay special attention to
power cords. If you see frayed insulation or exposed wires, have the cord repaired or
replaced immediately by a professional, unless you have the expertise to do it yourself.
Damaged power cords can potentially lead to injury from electric shock or can cause a fire.
Also, check the cord’s prongs to see if they are bent or loose. If any are, repair or replace.
*Lubricate Moving Parts
Keep moving parts lubricated for premium performance. Not only does it keep the mechanics
of a tool running smoothly, it also decreases the chance of rust developing. While common
machine oil is a good choice, consult your owner’s manual to see if the manufacturer
recommends or requires a specific type of oil.
*Keep Batteries in Shape
Cordless, battery-powered tools are convenient and portable and have become very popular
for contractors and homeowners alike. To keep them running efficiently and effectively, it is
essential for their batteries to be maintained.
Batteries remain working at peak level by fully charging and then fully discharging their power
once every couple of weeks. Don’t let batteries sit unused for extended periods of time. Try to
use batteries once every two weeks.
Care for batteries by cleaning contacts with cotton swabs and alcohol. Store batteries you
won’t be using for a while in a dry, clean place away from excessive heat.
OHS Occupational Health and Safety
Occupational Health and Safety is planned system of working to prevent illness and
injury where you work by recognizing and identifying hazards and risks. Occupational
Health and Safety is also referring to the policies, procedures and activities that aim to

Occupational safety and health (OSH) is a planned system of working to prevent illness
and injury where you work by recognizing and identifying hazards and risks. Health and
safety procedure is the responsibility of all
persons in the computer and technology industries. You must identify the hazards where
you are working and decide how dangerous they are. Eliminate the hazard or modify the
risk that it presents.
Procedure
All hazards must be reported. This enables us to track the kinds of hazards we have in
our workplace, and take action when necessary to make it safer for all student and
clients.
