Introduction

This course is a continuation of Work Shop Theory and Practice. The


course will focus on the student’s understanding of the theoretical
aspects of machining and manufacturing. It will include a review of
topics from Work Shop Theory and Practice and also an introduction
to milling machines. This course will cover all types of Milling
Machines and Lathe Machines their uses, cutters and cutter selection.
Students will also be introduced to basic wood and metal fabrication
and also introduce to modern machining used in industry today.
Safety awareness in the
operation of the machines and
tools used in machine shop.
• Importance of machine shop safety
• Explain why it is important to develop
Topic 1 safe work habits
• Recognize and correct unsafe work
practices
• Identify hazards when operating
machine shop equipment
• Basic tools and equipment's used in
machine shop
Machine Shops have many tools that can be
hazardous, including lathes, milling machines,
table saws and drill presses.
Importance
of shop
safety Department heads, Safety Officers and supervisors
are responsible for ensuring that all employees,
students and visitors work safely in machine shops
or when working with any machine or tool that can
cause injury. The safety requirements are
described in the  Machine Shop Safety Policy and
include, but are not limited to, access control,
training, and work rules and procedures.
Before working with any equipment, it is important
to conduct a  hazard review to determine what
safety methods must be used.

• All machine shop must be inspected for safety


hazards (Machine shop checklist will be provided
by the instructor during activity).
• Everyone working in a machine shop on campus
must complete there machine shop safety
training.

Before you start using any machine you need to
think about what risks may occur and how these can
be managed. You should therefore do the following:

•Check that the machine is complete, with all safeguards


fitted, and free from defects. The term 'safeguarding' includes
guards, interlocks, two-hand controls, light guards, pressure-
sensitive mats etc. By law, the supplier must provide the right
safeguards and inform buyers of any risks ('residual risks')
that users need to be aware of and manage because they
could not be designed out

Produce a safe system of work
for using and maintaining the
machine. Maintenance may
require the inspection of critical
features where deterioration
would cause a risk. Also look at
the residual risks identified by
the manufacturer in the
information/ instructions
provided with the machine and
make sure they are included in
the safe system of work

Ensure every static
machine has been
installed properly and is
stable (usually fixed down)

Choose the right machine for
the job and do not put
machines where customers or
visitors may be exposed to
risk

Source: Health and Safety Executive UK


Note that new machines
should be CE marked and
supplied with a Declaration of
Conformity and instructions in
English and in Filipino.

CE means Conformité
Européenne or European
Conformity
Make sure the machine is safe
for any work that has to be
done when setting up, during
normal use, when clearing
blockages, when carrying out
repairs for breakdowns, and
during planned maintenance

Make sure the machine is properly
switched off, isolated or locked-off
before taking any action to
remove blockages, clean or adjust
the machine

Preventing access to
dangerous parts
Use fixed guards (eg secured with screws or nuts and
bolts) to enclose the dangerous parts, whenever practical.
Use the best material for these guards – plastic may be
easy to see through but may easily be damaged. Where
you use wire mesh or similar materials, make sure the
holes are not large enough to allow access to moving
parts

Source: Health and Safety Executive UK


If fixed guards are not practical,
use other methods, eg
interlock the guard so that the
machine cannot start before
the guard is closed and cannot
be opened while the machine
is still moving. In some cases,
trip systems such as
photoelectric devices,
pressure-sensitive mats or
automatic guards may be used
if other guards are not practical
Where guards cannot give full
protection, use jigs, holders,
push sticks etc. if it is practical
to do so
Control any remaining risk by
providing the operator with
the necessary information,
instruction, training,
supervision and appropriate
safety equipment
