Working safely

In this activity there are two videos to watch:

  1. The first vide shows a worker placing a piece of material on the platform of a pedestal drill. She is stopped from using the drill by a fellow worker.

Your task is to identify in the video the unsafe work practices.

Safety issues to be identified are:

  • loose clothing being worn
  • safety guard not in place
  • not wearing wearing safety glasses
  • long hair not tied up and out of the way
  • material not clamped securely.
  1. The second video shows the task performed safely.
