UNIT I
SAFETY IN METAL WORKING
AND
WOOD WORKING MACHINES
METAL WORKING MACHINES
General safety rules
Check and adjust all safety devices before each job.
Make sure that the guards are in position and in good

working condition before operating.
Make sure that all stationary equipment is anchored

securely to the floor.
Make sure all machines have a start/stop button within

easy reach of the operator.
Make sure that all machines have an emergency stop

button (e-stop).
Each machine should have only one operator at one
time. However, everyone should know how to stop the
machine in an emergency.
Make sure that keys and adjusting wrenches have been

removed from the machine before turning on the
power.
Make sure that all cutting tools and blades are clean
and sharp.
Stop the machine before measuring, cleaning or

making any adjustments.
Perform appropriate lockout steps before starting
maintenance or repairs.
Use a vacuum, brush or rake to remove cuttings. Do not

handle cuttings by hand because they are very sharp.
Keep hands away from the cutting head and all moving
parts.
Return all portable tooling to their proper storage place

after use.
Clean all tools after use.

Floors should be level and have a non-slip surface.
Make sure there is enough room around the machine

to do the job safely.
Obtain first aid immediately for all injuries.
Understand that the health and fire hazards can vary

from material to material. Make sure all appropriate
precautions are taken.
Clean machines, ducts and other areas if there is the

possibility of a combustible dust situation.
What should you avoid??
Do not distract an operator. Horseplay can lead to
injuries and should be strictly prohibited.
Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,

bracelets or other jewelry that can become entangled
in moving parts.
Do not remove cuttings by hand.
Do not leave machines running unattended. Turn

power off.
Do not free a stalled cutter without turning the power
off first.
Do not clean hands with cutting fluids.
Do not use rags near moving parts of machines.
Do not use compressed air to blow debris from

machines or to clean dirt from clothes.
Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE)
Use the appropriate safety equipment for the job.
Wear appropriate safety footwear.
Wear respiratory protection where required.
Wear hearing protection when required.

Turning machines
(Lathe)
Turning lathe hazards
Entanglement of clothing in moving parts, such as
drive gears, chucks, lead and feed screws and the
workpiece.
Being hit by loose objects on the lathe, such as chuck

keys, tools.
Being struck by a workpiece that has not been

adequately secured in the lathe or is oversized
Metal turning lathe risk controls
Zone 1
Workpiece extends beyond the headstock
Zone 2
drive mechanisms, including the pulley, belts and gears.
Lathe controls can only be reached by passing hand through

working zone.
Lack of function markings on controls.
Placement of controls does not follow the machining process.
Unsecured tools and objects stored or placed on the headstock.

Zone 3
Chuck key left in chuck
Chuck jaws unable to securely clamp the workpiece
Chuck has not been adequately secured to the spindle
Oversized workpiece in self-centering chuck, also

known as a three-jaw chuck
Zone 4
Objects, for example, cutting tools and swarf,
unsecured on carriage and tool post.
Zone 5
Damaged tools being used on the lathe.
Exposed lead and feed screws.

Zone 6
Coupling and clamps used on the lathe are damaged or
have catch points.
Unsupported workpieces
Removing metal shavings, cuttings and swarf from

machining area with hands
Incorrect methods used for polishing workpieces with

emery cloth.
General hazards, risks and controls
Lack of or poorly placed emergency stop button or
pedal to bring lathe to immediate standstill.
Loose clothing, cuffed or rolled back sleeves, neckties,

jewellery, including watches, and long hair.
Environment
Inappropriate type and position of lighting
Untidy and unorganised working environment
Training and supervision hazards

Poorly trained and supervised operators machining on
the lathe.
Personal protective equipment hazards
Wearing gloves while using the lathe.
Operating the lathe without safety glasses.
Working on heavy workpieces or lathe parts without

steel-capped safety shoes.
What should you know before using a
lathe?
Read the owner's manual carefully.
Make sure you understand instructions and are

properly trained before operating a lathe.
Safety Principles
Keep the floor free from obstructions, or slip hazards
Make sure the lathe has a start/stop button within easy

reach of the operator.
Guard all power transmission parts.
Keep all lathe cutting tools sharp.
Ensure that the chip and coolant shields are in place.
Keep working surface clean of scraps, tools and materials.

Things should be avoid
Do not wear gloves, rings, watches or loose clothing.
Tie back and confine long hair.
Keep your face and eyes away from flying chips.
Do not make adjustments while the machine is

operating.
Do not place hands on work turning in the lathe.
Do not leave lathe unattended while it is running.
