SHOP SAFETY AGREEMENT
As a student in this laboratory which includes the classroom; there are a few safety rules you must observe. Rules will be kept to a minimum, but those we do keep are for a definite reason. Knowing the reason for each rule should make it a lot easier to remember and observe that rule.
1. Students must never enter the shop unless the teacher is present.
2. Power equipment must never be operated unless a teacher is in the laboratory.
3. Do not run in the laboratory.
4. “Horseplay” will not be tolerated in the laboratory.
5. Use care and common sense when using any sharp tool-always keep hands and fingers behind the tool’s cutting edge.
6. Protective equipment, such as (goggles, etc.) MUST be worn when in the laboratory.
7. Long hair, loose clothing and jewelry must be restrained or removed.
8. Never use any machine until you personally have been given instruction by the teacher about the use of that machine.
9. Report any damaged/defective tools or machines to the teacher. Rely on your judgement and knowledge of safety to guide you in safe operating practice.
10. If you cut or scratch yourself, no matter how slight, report it to the teacher and receive treatment.
11. Keep benches and floors clean, replace tools as soon as you are finished and place scrap in proper bins.
12. When finished with oil or paint soaked rags, dispose of in special safety bins.
13. In the event of a school fire drill, or an actual fire in the shop, WALK out quickly and silently to the nearest exit and meet with your class in the assigned area.
14. Welding goggles and leather aprons must be worn during any welding or forging process.
15. Only one operator per machine is permitted. Never over crowd a machine operator.
16. Beware of other workers and the surrounding environment.
17. Know the location and how to use the fire extinguisher.
18. Use compressed air with caution-wear eye protection, direct air away from eyes, skin and any opening in the body. Beware of flying particles.

Dear Parent or Guardian:
I feel that you should be informed of the schools effort to create and maintain a safe woodworking, metalworking, and engineering technology classroom and shop environment. Please read the list of shop safety rules (from the website). Students will be taught safety principles according to the OSHA standards for General Industry and Construction. No student will be permitted to perform shop activities unless this contract is signed by both the student and parent/guardian and is on file with the teacher. Please stress to your child the importance of following safety procedures in the shop for both their safety and the safety of others. Your signature on this contract indicates that you have read this shop safety contract, reviewed it with your child and are aware of the measures taken to ensure the safety of your son and daughter in the woodworking and engineering technology shop. Should you have any questions about the potential shop hazards that your son/daughter will be exposed to please feel free to email or call me to discuss them.
