This document outlines the standard procedures, initial safety checks and operational guidelines for using a drill press.

In order to get full benefit, hearing protectors must be worn all the time during noisy work. If hearing protectors are removed only for a short duration, the protection is substantially reduced. The following table gives a maximum protection provided for non-continuous use of an ideally fitted "100%" efficient hearing protector. For example if one takes off his/her hearing protector for 5 min in a 8-hour shift, the maximum protection will be 20 dB.

Oxy-Fuel Welding
Gas cylinders require special care in oxy-fuel welding. The acetylene cylinder is hollow and contains a porous material saturated with liquid acetone, which keeps the gases stable under pressure. For this reason, always store the cylinder in the vertical upright position and secure it. If the cylinder is tipped, acetone may leak into the valve area and could release acetone into the system. If an acetylene cylinder is tipped, place it upright for twice as long as it had been lying down before using it. Also, be certain a cap covers the valve when the cylinders are not secured. If the cap is not present and the cylinder falls, the valve could break and propel the cylinder, causing injury to you or other worker

Welcome to a brief introduction to PPE E-Learning. In this video you will go through an introduction to Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

This video outlines the importance of using eye protection when working. It outlines the most common activities when eye injuries happen. This video would be helpful in a PAA class when learning about worker safety or in the farm safety sections of agriculture-related courses.
The GotSafety Youtube channel also offers these videos in Spanish.

In this video, common types of PPE are tested to see how they can protect from projectiles, falling objects, and other possible hazards. This is an entertaining take on Personal Protective Equipment and how it protects people.

Let's talk hearing conservation, noise and hearing loss so that you know what actions you can take to protect your hearing in the workplace or at home.
