INDUSTRIAL/WORKSHOP SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION




Industrial/Workshop safety is defined as a situation which is free from danger or risks. Accident is defined as an unplanned, not necessarily injurious or damaging event which interrupts the completion of an activity. When accident occurs in a factory or workshop, damage may be done on either man, material or machine, or any combination of these three.

Everyday, a large number of accidents occurs in our factories. These sometimes results in death, sometimes in permanent disablement and in many cases, Fortunately, in nothing worse than a few days or weeks absence from work. Even if an accident does not render the victim unfit for work, It makes him liable to infections or any other of the ills which may be contracted as a result of injury and shock.

It has been observed that a lot of accidents occurs because of lack of safety awareness. Men fall from ladders, Operate their machines without a guard, Drop objects on their toes and cut their hands because of the misuse of tools. In every three accidents which occurs, two are caused by the personal element of the victim, and one by means beyond his control.

To put it briefly, We may say the two out of three are the victims own fault and the third was his employer's fault for not making safe working conditions.

Before any work of cutting and shaping can be carried out to produce a component, The shape of the part and the position of holes and slots need to be drawn on the material, to be be a guide with which the filter can work.

 The first principle of any marking out is that all the lines must be measured from one vertical and one horizontal base line or datum. The lines are cut into the surface of the workpiece by the very hard and fine point of a scriber, chalk being used to make the line show more clearly. One line must be scribed and if this is to mark a hand or machine-cut edge, It must also be lightly center punched at intervals. The rough edge of the cut will obscure the line just as the final cut is due but the punch marks should show as a check on the accuracy of machining. Holes for drilling should be heavily punched at their centers, The circumference being lightly punched also.

Marking Out tools are of different various types which is well illustrated below.
