Mechanical workshop safety rules are important to follow because workshop rules and regulations not only ensure worker safety but also bring efficiency to the work process. Safety guidelines, fire precautions, and general work rules ensure that a symmetrical work process is observed in workshops. Most engineering colleges across the globe include workshop training in the first year, which is common for all engineering disciplines, be it mechanical engineering or electrical engineering. The basic aim of such courses is to make students familiar with industry practices and help them understand the basics of working in a workshop. When new employees start working in a workshop they will see that certain guidelines are often posted on the walls.These guidelines might not suit a young engineer or a new worker but they are very important to follow, to understand, and to implement in the daily work schedule.
Improved efficiency, reduced security threats, and symmetrical proceedings of work are some of the advantages of following the workshop practicesHe purpose of this safety plan is to outline the policy and procedure for providing a safe environment for Students, Staff, Faculty and Visitors to engage in productive endeavors associated to the Mechanical Engineering Department. This plan will be reviewed and/or revised during the fall of even years wholly divisible by 4. The policies presented herein are derived from the policies provided under Texas Tech University Operating Procedures 10.x, 60.x, 76.
x.The university policies provided in the OP supersede where conflicts may arise between the policies provided herein and those described in the OP. The Mechanical Engineering Department will submit to safety audits conducted by the TTU EH&S Staff during September of every even year, and provide corrective actions as needed before the end of January the following year. This safety plan is divided into sections as follows:1. General Safety 2.
Fire Safety 3. Severe Weather Event Safety 4. Emergency Action Under Threats of Violence 5. Classroom Safety 6. Laboratory Safety 7. Hazardous Material Handling and Emergency Action Action Items 1.
Plan and review/revision even years wholly divisible by four. 2. EH&S walkthrough every September in even years. 3. Corrective action taken by January following EH&S visit.
General Safety The applicable university operating procedure is TTU OP 60.01. The goal of this TTU ME Safety Policy is to promote saf the fabric of operations in the department.The policy implementation hierarchy is as follows: 1.
Department Chairperson 2. Department Safety Committee 3. Faculty and Staff 4. TA/RA 5.
Students 6. Visitors Individuals are responsible for their own actions regarding safety and each level of the hierarchy is responsible for those levels that numerically follow in the list. Individuals that witness unsafe practices at any level are encouraged to courteously address the unsafe practices of a group or individual at the time of the action. Each individual in a given level of the hierarchy is encouraged to seek the assistance of persons in the next higher level of the hierarchy to assist in addressing unsafe practices witnessed in any level of the hierarchy. If corrective action is not taken then the issue can be brought to the attention of the Chairperson for appropriate redress.
If any individual believes they are in harms way in any situation that is presented in the department, those individuals are encouraged to remove themselves from the situation and seek redress as outlined above. Safety procedures will be provided to the constituents of the department in a brochure and/or a website-link and or via a seminar or class lecture to each new constituent during the first week of their tenure in the department (excepting visitors, the host of a visitor will provide needed safety measures during a given visit duration). The information to be provided will list the policies described herein. Specific policies will be reiterated as needed in the classrooms and laboratories on a semester basis, when the semester commences.
