It is protection from risk of harm or injury. It is also protection against damage to machines, tools as well as the prevention or removal of factors that can lead to accident. Safety must be ensured in the workshop.</p> <p>A<strong> workshop</strong> is a place where technical and engineering works are carried out.</p> <p><strong>Workshop safety</strong> is protection from risk of harm or injury to humans or damage to machines and tools in the workshop.</p> <p> </p> <h2>Meaning of Workshop Accident</h2> <p>An accident is an unexpected event resulting in injury, illness or death as well as damage to property. Accident occurs as a result of hazards. Hazard is both an unsafe condition and unsafe act. It makes an accident to occur. Hazard is, therefore, any activity, situation or substance that causes harm or injury to someone in a workshop while he/she is working.</p> <p> </p> <h2>Causes of Workshop Accident</h2> <p>The basic causes of accidents are unsafe conditions of machinery, equipment, or surroundings, and the unsafe actions of persons that are caused by ignorance or neglect of safety principles.</p> <p>The following are the causes of workshop accidents:</p> <ol> <li>Lack of safety devices.</li> <li>Failure to use safety devices provided.</li> <li>Failure to follow laid-down methods for handling tools, equipment and machines.</li>

Obedience: Pupils must obey the instructions of their teachers at all times 2. Humility: Show respect to everybody and when you are in doubt about anything, ask question. 3. Fiddling: Never play with any tool, equipment and machine in the workshop, such as ‘’ON/OFF’’ switch. 4. Horseplay: Do not run around in the workshop. Always, be patient and never rush. 5. Negligence: Report any fault or injury to your teacher, no matter how small. <h2><strong>General Safety Precautions in Workshops</strong></h2>
Driving Tools and Cutting Tools
<h1>DRIVING TOOLS AND CUTTING TOOLS</h1> <p>CONTENT</p> <ol> <li>Driving Tools</li> <li>Cutting Tools</li> </ol> <p> </p> <h2>Driving Tools</h2> <h3>Definition of Driving Tools</h3> <p>Driving tools are tools used for pushing in nails, screws into position. Examples are:</p> <h3>1. Hammers</h3> <p>Hammers have two distinct parts, the handle and the head. While the handle can be made of wood or metallic material, the head is always made of high carbon steel. The hammer is classified according to the type of head, hence we have:</p> <p>Ball peen, straight peen, cross peen and planishing hammer.</p> <p><img class="size-full wp-image-36657 aligncenter" src="https://classhall.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/driving-tools.jpg" alt="Driving tools - Hammers" width="330" height="318" /></p> <h3>2. Mallets</h3> <p>This is a soft hammer whose head is made of soft material like synthetic rubber to prevent the head from damaging the surface of the work piece.</p> <p><img class="size-full wp-image-36658 aligncenter" src="https://classhall.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/mallets.jpg" alt="Driving tools - mallets" width="442" height="197" /></p> <h3>3. Punches</h3> <p>These are used for producing holes on thin sheets of metal, to mark holes for drilling and to remove rivet. Examples are centre or dot punch, and pin punch for marking drill points.</p> <p><img class="size-full wp-image-36703 aligncenter" src="https://classhall.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/punches.jpg" alt="Driving tools - Punches" width="260" height="164" /></p>
