| Bodily Injury due to distraction, long clothing, improper PPE, jewellery, etc.
|
Training at a local college is required prior to using these tools. This training will explain the risks and danger with using such tools. Ensure the area is free from distractions - ignore other members trying to talk to you until the machine is in a safe state (i.e. powered off). Ensure that appropriate PPE is worn, namely safety glasses. Gloves must not be worn while operating such machinery. Ensure sleeves are rolled up and out of the way. Ensure hair is tied back. Ensure watches, bracelets, necklaces, and rings are removed. Avoid using the tools at night when people are not around.
