* Correct selection and use of the available PPE |
|||
|- |
|||
** Goggles are required for pretty much any power tool, face shields are fine too if you find them more comfortable. |
|||
! Topic !! Detailed contents !! Rationale |
|||
** Hearing protection is a good idea if there's much noise. You don't need to wait till the noise is uncomfortable before using hearing protection as by that time the damage has already started. As soon as you start to feel "hmm, that's a bit noisy" it's time to use hearing protection. We have ear defenders and disposable earplugs. |
|||
|- |
|||
** Dust protection is a good idea when doing anything that involves dust so sanding, linishing, cutting if you're doing a lot of it, grinding, wood-turning. We have regular dust masks for normal workshop use. Some jobs, for example plasma cutting in aluminium, or forging stainless steel, will require higher grade protection and you'll be warned about that in the inductions for those tools |

| Selection and use of PPE || |
|||
* Types of PPE |
|||
** Goggles. |
|||
*** Required for pretty much any power tool |
|||
** Face Shields |
|||
***Alternative to goggles - may be more comfortable for long duration use. Protects the full face and allows use of prescription glasses. |
|||
** Hearing Protection |
|||
*** Needed when there is a lot of noise being made - not just by your job but possibly by others in the workshop. |
|||
*** Put it on before you feel uncomfortable with the noise - by that time the damage may already be done. |
|||
*** Ear defenders & disposable ear plugs available |
|||
** Dust Protection |
|||
*** Used when your work will generate dust and/or fumes, eg sanding, linishing, grinding, wood turning, using power saws etc. We have different types of mask available for different uses, including general purpose masks and ones for special protection for some jobs such as plasma cutting or forging. |

*** FFP1 - >5 micron filtration. Non-toxic dusts, sanding, cutting, drilling, water / oil based aerosols |

Workshop Skills
Covering the basic tools in the main workshop, how to use them safely and effectively.

Sessions can be in small groups or 1:1 to cover specific tools or techniques.
Sessions will be relatively short - 30 minutes to an hour. Content will be tailored for the group from the list below.
