AMJT – Course 1 – Project 1: Losing an Eye Would Be Out of Sight

Creating a Safety Manual

Name: ______Date: ______

Overview: A safety manual outlines the policies and work practices for a particular company. Since every workplace has different equipment, materials, and personnel; each company generally designs their own safety manual to suit their needs. This manual should address OSHA regulations and ways to reduce the exposure to hazards in the work place.

Assignment:The goal of this project is to design a safety manual specifically for the Welding and Materials Joining Lab. Since this is a rather large task, the class will work as a group to complete this manual. While the class will be graded on the completed manual, each person will be responsible for his/her own portion of the manual. The manual should include the following: Title Page, Table of Contents, Introduction (purpose/application), General Safety, School/Student Responsibilities, Accident Procedure, Fire Procedure, MSDS’s, Chemical Handling, Flammable Safety, General Electrical Device Safety, Compressed Gas/Cylinder Safety, and Safety for all Equipment found in lab (could be individual hand tools, or general hand tool safety; welding equipment; machining equipment, etc.)
