Workshop Skills
Covering the basic tools in the main workshop, how to use them safely and effectively.
Ideal if you are not comfortable with some of the non-induction machine tools, or want to learn some of the basic skills used in the workshop.
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.

Rationale
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
