Safety	Completed Tasks
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): When working with the milling machine ensure that you are dressed appropriately. Ensure that you: Do not wear baggy clothing. Do not wear any jewellery. Tie your hair back appropriately if it is long. Wear eye protection at all times. These all have the potential to get caught in the moving parts of the machine. The list is not exhaustive and it is on the operator to apply common sense.
Be Aware of Your Surroundings: Check that: The machine is set up how you expect. Check: The locks for all 3 axes. The quill feed is engaged/disengaged. The spindle is set to turn in the direction you expect. Your work is clamped securely. If you just set these things up yourself this does not apply, but as the machine often does not get fully reset when people finish working with it, if you find it set up in a certain way don't assume it's safe. The floor area you are working in is clear of cables, obstacles and potential trip hazards. Ensure there are no obstacles in the travel envelope of the tables. Wear eye protection at all times. These all have the potential to get caught in the moving parts of the machine. The list is not exhaustive and it is on the operator to apply common sense.
