If you work in metal, wood, or other similar workshops, you already know how critical it is to work safe and smart in the shop.

When safe practices aren't followed in the workshop, it is very easy for injuries or worse to occur. We have decades of experience working in the shop and with the tools of the trade. We have trained thousands of workers in all facets of safety over the years.

This course offers an extensive guide to safe practices and behaviors in the workshop. We touch upon the most common activities performed in a workshop with an employer or at a job site.

A sampling of the topics we cover includes:

* Equipment storage

* Shop housekeeping

* Machine inspections

* Proper safety signage

* Correct operation of safety equipment, such as fire extinguishers, eye wash stations, and PPE

* Implementation of critical safety programs such as lockout tagout, hazardous waste, and first aid

* Safe use of powered hand tools and welding machinery

* Proper operation of heavy machinery in the shop, such as power presses and cranes and hoists

All these topics and more are covered in our expansive collection of workshop safety topics. Get familiar with these best practices to be a smarter and safer worker in the shop.
