INTRODUCTION TO SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Working safely is the first essential of an
operator
2. Work safely for the most important people in your
life, your family.
3. An operator should learn the safe-way of doing
things, and he must also know ‘the unsafe way’.
4. The safe way is the correct way and efficient way
of doing things.
5. “Safety” is an attitude for learning and practicing
the safe habits.
6. A good and safe operator is one who is ‘safety
conscious’ always, using safe and accepted
practices.
 CAUSES OF ACCIDENTS
Generally, the causes of accidents (things that
can lead to accidents) are listed below:

1. Operating without authority

2. In operative safety devices
3. Operating at unsafe speeds
4. Using unsafe equipment
5. Working in unsafe position or posture
6. Operating without using PPEs
7. Working in a noisy or bad environment
8. Defective working conditions, i.e. slippery,
corroded, cracked etc.
9. Unsafe lighting and ventilation
10. Unsafe dress (improper or loose garment)
11. Not interested (distracted in work)
12. Lack of skill or knowledge.
 GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
which you must take in order to avoid accidents
1. Before operating a machine, all
protective guards should be in their proper
places.
2. Machines should be operated by
authorized operators only.
3. A machine should not be stopped by
hands or body.
4. Before staring a machine, operator
should check that the work and tools are
clamped securely.
5. Shop floor should be free from oil, clear
of metal chips or curls or waste pieces.
 GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

6. Operator should leave the machine only
when it comes to a full stop.
7. Machines and switches should be
operated by the same operator.
8. Operator should not lean towards the
machine once it is running.
9. Operator should concentrate on the
work and not talk unnecessarily while
operating the machine.
10. Operator should have sufficient light
and ventilation for performing a particular
operation.
 GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
which you must take in order to avoid accidents
1. No one should disturb the operator while he is
operating a machine.
2. Tools are not to be used for any purpose other than

3. Files are not to be used without file handles.
4. Tools should be in good state (of repair/ condition).

8. Always use a brush for cleaning chips, burrs and
not to flick with cloth.
9. Do not rub fingers, hands along work edges/
