Safety Signs

In CMM we are learning about what are hazards and what some of the signs you may see in a workplace or workshop. 

A hazard is something that can cause serious harm or death. 

                             

The three main types of signs are the yellow triangle with is a hazard sign, blue circle with a white background which is a mandatory sign and the red circle with a white background and a line through it, showing use that it is a prohibition sign. 

The hazard sign tells us that there is a hazard that can't be eliminated and to watch out for it. 

The mandatory sign tells us that we have to do something or what we have to do to help minimise or isolate a hazard. 

The prohibition tells us that we aren't aloud to do something because it is or may become a hazard.

My Safety Sign

Next we had to design our own sign to put around the workshop. For this activity I choose to do a sign about not going into the workshop without a teacher present. Here was the first sign I did.

This is my second go at making the sign.

PPE

Personal Protective Equipment

Ear Protection

Ear protection is used to look after your hearing. 

Eye Protection

Safety glasses are used to protect your eyes. While you are drilling there is a hazard of depbreeze flying from the drill and can fling itself into your eye. There are also small particles flying around in the air.

Overalls

Overalls are used to protect your clothing from oil, chemicals and heat.
