Introduction and Safety in the Workshop
SAFETY DECALS
•
WARNING: DO NOT remove or obscure Danger,
Warning or Instruction Decals.
Replace any Danger, Warning, Caution or Instruction
Decals that are not readable, damaged or are missing.
GENERAL
Practically all service work involves the need to drive a
tractor. The Operator Instruction Book, supplied with each
tractor or implement, contains detailed safety precautions
relating to driving, operating and servicing. These
precautions are as applicable to the service mechanic as
they are to the operator, and should be read, understood
and practised by all personnel.
Prior to undertaking any maintenance, repair, overhaul,
dismantling or re-assembly operations, whether within a
workshop facility or out 'in the field', consideration shou Id
be given to factors that may have an effect upon Safety, not
only upon the mechanic carrying out the work, but also
upon bystanders.
• DO NOT allow children or bystanders around or on the
machine while it is being adjusted, serviced, repaired
or operated.
PERSONAL CONSIDERATIONS
Clothing
• The wrong clothes or carelessness in dress can cause
accidents. Check to see that you are suitably clothed.
DO NOT wear loose clothing or long hair around
equipment.
Some jobs require special protective equipment
Eye Protection
• The smallest eye injury may cause loss of vision. Injury
can be avoided by wearing the proper eye protection
when engaged in chiselling, grinding, discing,
sanding, welding, painting etc.
• Wear safety goggles or safety glasses appropriate to
the job in hand.
Breathing Protection
• Fumes, dust and paint spray are unpleasant and
harmful. These can be avoided by wearing respiratory
protection.
Hearing Protection
• Loud noise may damage your hearing and the greater
the exposure the worse the damage. If you think the
noise is excessive, wear ear protection.
Hand Protection
• It is advisable to use a protective barrier cream before
work to prevent irritation and skin contamination. After
work clean your hands in soap and water. Solvents
such as white spirit, paraffin, etc., may harm the skin.
• Wear gloves when ever possible to protect your
hands. DO NOT wear rings or wrist watches when
working on machinery, as they could catch on moving
parts and cause serious injury.
Foot Protection
• Substantial or protective footwear with reinforced
toe-caps (safety shoes) will protect your feet from
falling objects. Additionally, oil-resistant soles will help
to avoid slipping.
Special Clothing
• For certain work it may be necessary to wear flame or
acid-resistant clothing.
EQUIPMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Machine Guards
• Before using any machine, check to ensure that the
machine guards are in position and serviceable.
These guards not only prevent parts of the body or
clothing coming in contact with the moving parts of the
machine, but also ward off objects that might fly off the
machine and cause injury. Ensure that missing guards
are replaced.
Lifting Appliances
• Always ensure that lifting equipment, such as chains,
slings, lifting brackets, hooks and eyes are thoroughly
checked before use. If in doubt, select stronger
equipment than is necessary.
• Never stand under a suspended load or raised
implement.
• Avoid 1n1ury through incorrect handling of
components. Make sure you are capable of lifting the
object. If in doubt get help.
Jacking
• Select a jack strong enough to carry the load.
• Stabilise the tractor and chock the wheels.
• Put support stands under the tractor. Lower the jack
and let the tractor rest on the stands.
• DO NOT go under a tractor supported by a chain hoist
or jack.
