Typical hazards & measures
Flammable materials
— Store all flammable materials, like solvents and paints, in designated flame-proof cabinets. Prohibit open flames or ignition sources in the workshop, and provide training on proper storage and use of such materials.
Electric tools
— All electric tools must undergo regular PAT testing and inspections. Ensure participants are trained on their proper use, with clear instructions on safe operation and emergency shut-off procedures. Keep cords neatly organized and out of pathways.
Tool malfunction
— Conduct regular maintenance on all tools and machinery, ensuring that moving parts are properly lubricated and that all safety features are functioning. Remove any malfunctioning tools from the workspace immediately.
Poor group management
— Ensure groups are organized according to skill levels, with clear instructions and structured activity plans. Adequate supervision ratios should be maintained, and clear communication between instructors and participants is essential to avoid chaos and injury.
Inadequate ventilation
— Ensure the workshop area is well-ventilated, especially when working with paints, adhesives, or tools that generate dust. Use fans, open windows, or mechanical ventilation systems to maintain a fresh air supply.
