Temporary Turbines, Inc.

Safety Memo [To: All Supervisors From: Safety & Training Department Subject: Portable Electrical Tools] The recent rash of accidents at our plant should have taught all of us a lesson: portable electric power tools can be very hazardous if they are not used properly. Because of the seriousness of this matter, the Safety & Training Department is setting forth the following guidelines. Please inform all employees in your department that these simple common-sense guidelines must be strictly adhered to at all times. Supervisors will be held responsible for any infractions. Some of our older portable electric tools do not have automatic shut-off controls to make them stop operating when the workers hand is removed from the on-off switch. Before plugging in these tools, make sure that the switch is in the off position. Failure to do so could result in the tool starting unexpectedly and causing an accident. Tool cords, extension cords, and plugs must be routinely inspected every time a worker checks out a tool from inventory. A tool must not



be used if it has worn cords or broken plugs. Defective tool cords and plugs must be replaced as soon as possible by the Maintenance Department. Most important, electric power tools must never be used by people who have not been trained to use them. Supervisors must make sure that anyone assigned to work with a tool has a thorough knowledge of all the procedures pertaining to its use and care. Failure to do so will be looked upon as supervisory negligence.

TRADE TIPS for TECHNICAL WORKERS in BC

Blueprint reading is the universal language used by mechanics, technicians, builders, engineers, and designers all over the world. Trades people everywhere depend on them to convey necessary information about the various parts of many different machines and buildings. This is because the shape, size, and appearance of every part is graphically described in necessary detail. Pictures, photographs, by comparison, are simply not precise or detailed enough to do the job. Unlike blueprints, they do not indicate correct sizes, and may not show hidden sections or parts. When blueprints are used in manufacturing or construction, each part produced can be made to a specific size and shape. A person trained in blueprint reading can look at the blueprint and visualize every part needed for a product. For all of these reasons, learning how to read and interpret blueprints is an important part of vocational training.
