Lesson 1Machine guarding and lockout/tagout basics for saws and drill pressesDis cover machine guarding types, inspection steps, and safe use of saws and drill presses. E explain lockout/tagout roles, device application, verification of zero energy, and restart checks to prevent contact, entanglement, and kickback injuries.

E detail spill response, aisle marking standards, waste segregation, and routine cleanup schedules to keep work areas orderly, accessible, and compliant with safety rules.
Spill prevention and immediate cleanup stepsAisle markings and floor signage standardsMaintaining clear exits and access routesWaste segregation and labeled containersHousekeeping checklists and inspectionsLesson 3Cutting and drilling safe procedures: tooling checks, work holding, guards, two-hand rulesDis focus on safe cutting and drilling practices, including tool selection, inspection, and maintenance. E explain correct work holding, guard use, two-hand controls, and body positioning to prevent kickback, entanglement, and flying debris injuries.

E describe secondary containment, transfer procedures, and spill kit deployment so workers can control leaks, avoid reactions, and protect health and environment.
Labeling and hazard communication basicsUsing SDS for handling and first aidSegregating incompatible chemicals safelySecondary containment and drum storageSpill kit contents and deployment stepsLesson 5Welding safety procedures: ventilation, pre-checks, fire watch, hot work permitsDis outline welding safety from pre-job checks to post-work monitoring. E cover ventilation, fire prevention, hot work permits, PPE selection, and fire watch duties to control burns, fumes, eye injuries, and ignition of nearby combustibles.
Pre-weld area and equipment inspectionsVentilation and fume extraction setupHot work permits and authorizationFire watch duties and fire preventionWelding PPE and eye protection useLesson 6Hierarchy of controls: elimination, substitution, engineering, administrative, PPE with workshop examplesDis introduce de hierarchy of controls and how to apply am to workshop hazards. E use practical examples to compare elimination, substitution, engineering, administrative controls, and PPE, emphasizing stronger controls over reliance on personal protection.
Eliminating tasks and hazardous stepsSubstituting safer materials or equipmentEngineering controls for noise and dustAdministrative controls and safe proceduresSelecting and using appropriate PPELesson 7Compressed gas cylinder handling and storage: segregation, securing, transport, leak detectionDis detail safe handling, storage, and transport of compressed gas cylinders. E cover segregation by gas type, securing cylinders, valve protection, leak checks, and emergency actions to prevent tipping, impact, and uncontrolled gas release incidents.
