1. SHOP SPEED DATE Get to know your work place

2. #1: MSDS A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is a document that contains information on the potential hazards (health, fire, reactivity and environmental) and how to work safely with products and materials

3. #2: Shut off button This is a button that controls the main power supply to all machines in the shop. It is used in emergency situations and when you want the power to be turned off and prevented from being turned on Needs key

4. #3: Locked Out Machines When a machine has this piece of paper on it, it means it is locked out DO NOT OPERATE! Machine is broke or dangerous to operate Wait until maintenance is performed

5. #4: Ventilation Many processes in the shop,particularly welding, produces fumes and clouds that are harmful to breath and should not be inhaled for long periods of time Sucks up the fumes and leaves clean air Should always be on when in shop

6. #5: Safety Glasses Protect your eyes from metal, dirt, grease, fluids, and other debris Must be worn AT ALL TIMES in the shop Must have proper classification

7. #6: Welding Helmets Protect face from sparks and pieces of metal Protect your eyes from flash Differently shaded lens: Always look up

8. #7: Welding Gloves These are NOT oven mitts Made of leather Made to protect your hands from sparks and debris DO NOT USE TO PICK UP HOT METAL

9. #8: Welding Apron Made of leather to prevent from burning or catching fire Protects you and your clothes from sparks, debris and fire MUST BE WORN when in the shop

10. #9: Fire Extinguisher Located near door and near MSDS and other safety equipment for quick location Must know how to use 3 Classes:

11. #10: Room Ventilation Button controls the room ventilation Dust, debris, fumes, etc accumulate in air when working in shop Ventilation sucks out fumes ALWAYS on when working

12. #11: Electrodes Used to conduct current through a work piece to fuse two pieces together. Consumable, in the case of gas metal arc welding or shielded metal arc welding, Non-consumable, such as in gas tungsten arc welding

13. #12: Gas Metal Arc Welding Machine (MIG) Used in MIG and TIG welding Electric arc forms between a consumable wire electrode and the workpiece metal(s), which heats the workpiece metal(s), causing them to melt, and join. Shielding gas feeds through the welding gun, which shields the process from contaminants in the air.

14. #13: Shielded Metal Arc Welding (stick) Machine Uses a consumable electrode coated in flux to lay the weld. Electric current, in the form of either alternating current or direct current from a welding power supply, is used to form an electric arc between the electrode and the metals to be joined

15. #14: Oxy-Acetylene Torch/ Welder Oxygen tank and acetylene tank Uses regulators to feed oxygen and acetylene into torch – creates flame Can use for welding and cutting

16. #15: Oxygen Tank (Cylinder) GREEN TANK and RED HOSE Very dangerous and is extremely flammable Under very high pressure (torpedo) Should be used after torch is lite

17. #16: Acetylene Tank (Cylinder) BLACK TANK and GREEN HOSE Safer than Oxygen tank but under high pressure Use to light torch

18. #17: Metal Stock Pieces of metals that we will use in this class Various sizes and types MAKE SURE you know what metal you are using!

19. #18: Material Room This room is for TEACHERS ONLY DO NOT ENTER Material is kept in this room If you need material, ask a teacher

20. #19: Filler Metals Metal added in the making of a joint through welding, brazing, or soldering. This area is where we would work with the metals (we do not use many filler metals n the course) (already on welding material – flux)

21. #20: Torch Cutting Area Area for cutting metal with an Oxy-Acetylene Torch Place metal on grate – MAKE SURE METAL BEING CUT ISNT ON A GRATE Grate is removable to retrieve pieces

22. #21: Metal Disposal Metal should not be thrown out in regular garbage Look for metal trash can with “metal” on the top Throw out scrap pieces (check with teacher if not sure)

23. #22: Project Baskets Put projects in basket after each class (your name will be stamped Will be safely locked away Will be locked up after every class and at end of day

24. #23: Eye wash station Next to door by WHMIS Any metal, sparks, or debris in eye =USE Flushes out eye so debris does less damage to eye

25. #24: Welding Shield Used to protect others from sparks, debris and flash Should always be used in shop

26. #25: Mitre Saw Saw used for cutting metal to desired lengths DO NOT use until trained and with proper supervision

27. #26: Welders Chipping Hammer Used after SMAW welding to get rid of covering over the weld Lightly chip at weld and the brush away with brush

28. #27: Wire Brush Used after chipping hammer to get rid of debris Does not hold metal shards Does not damage metal
