1.0 ACCIDENT PREVENTION
1.1 Understand the importance of safety procedures and applications in machining, welding, fitting and foundry work in the engineering workshop.
1.1.1 State the general accident prevention procedures in relation to personal safety, colleague, machine and equipments.
1.1.2 Explain the importance of wearing goggles, grinding wheel guards and maintaining workshop safety and cleanliness.
1.1.3 Explain the environmental issues regarding accident, legislation, protocol, laws and regulations in engineering workshop.
The general accident prevention procedures
There are 4 main factor that can be implement due to prevent the accidence in workshop :
• Personal safety• Colleague • Machine• Equipments
1.1 Personal Safety
Most of accidents are happen due to careless and lack of responsible to obey the safety aspect. The factor of accident can be avoid by these methods:-
i. The student should wear safety coat or garments
which suitable with their working area and the practical activity. Safety coat that used in arc welding workshop are not the same with the coat that been used during lathe machine workshop.
ii. Student’s hair should be keep neat and short.
Long hair can cause severe injured because it may stuck in spinning machine or any hazard equipment.
iii. Do not playing around in workshop area especially near the working machine. Do not wear any jewelries such as watch, ring bracelet because all this accessories may attached to machine and lead to injuries.

1.3 Safety During Using A Machine
The safety procedure during using a machine will be covered in coming units. Generally, all accident related to machine can be prevent by: i) All machine should have good earth wiring
due to avoid any electrical hazard.ii) Avoid directly touch or holding sharp tools
such as grinding tooth, tip of scriber.
1.4 Organize EquipmentThe tidiness and cleanliness of working area are important to prevent accident and also may increase the efficiency of working. Therefore, these are several rules that should be obey :- i) Do not let the tools messed on the workshop floor.ii) Keep the floor free from any oil or griss.
If there were any oil spilled on the floor, it shold be sweep or mop off due to avoid slippery.
iii) Do not let any chip or excessive metal messed on the workshop floor and around machine.
iv) The workshop area should have good air circulation, have safety line working area sign and walking area.
v) Workshop should have walking bay and emergency door. vi) Fire preventive equipment should be place at appropriate
area, easily seen and grab if needed.
