SAFE PRACTICE IN THE USE OF MACHINE TOOLS
You have got to concentrate on what you are doing when you are using machine tools.
Do not get too close to a person using a machine. Give them room, and remember only one person can use a machine at any one time.
You have to understand how to set up a machine correctly, i.e. how to hold the cutting tool and the work piece.
Never touch the moving parts of a machine.
Report any damage to machines/equipment as this could cause an accident.
If you are not certain that what you are doing is safe, ask.
