Shop Safety Policy

A shop safety policy is a set of rules and guidelines developed to decrease the likelihood of an injury from an accident or misuse of equipment. Create shop safety guidelines that are easy to understand, and make sure everyone in the shop follows them.

Protective Clothing

A shop safety policy includes guidelines on wearing protective clothing, such as work gloves and eye protection, and it includes procedures to follow if an accident does occur.

Shop Layout

Ensuring safety throughout a shop requires a policy on proper storage of equipment and tools, ventilation of equipment that requires external exhaust and safe storage of shop chemicals and cleaning agents.

Training

A complete course on shop safety procedures that includes procedures to follow in case of an emergency and manufacturer safety information on all equipment and materials should be completed by each employee at the start of employment.

Visitors

Visitors to a shop should be required to wear the proper protective clothing before entering the shop, and they should be completely briefed on shop safety rules and the limitations placed on visitors for their safety.

Responsibility

Someone responsible for making sure all shop safety procedures are followed should be available during all hours of operation.
