SHOP SAFETY
Technical Theatre
Mrs. Jordan
Theatres are Dangerous
•
Theatres are inherently dangerous places. We work
with tools and equipment which if not used
properly can cause severe damage to a person. We
work with saws, paints, chemicals, electricity,
explosives, and other items which, even with
proper use, create potentially dangerous situations.
We work on ladders, on catwalks, often at
substantial heights. We move very heavy objects.
And we do all of this in a limited space with
frequently many people around, all of whom could
be the victim of a moment of daydreaming or
thoughtlessness.
Ask for Help
•
Many of you will be working with tools and
equipment you have never worked with before. It is
absolutely vital you ask for help with anything you
are unsure of. If you don't know how to do
something, ask the teacher.
•
If you are uncomfortable doing something, please
let the person in charge know. Most accidents
happen when a person is attempting something
they really don't know how to do, or they are so
nervous they don't have a real sense of control over
what they are doing.
•
•
•
•
Rules are for your safety.
Follow them.
If you don’t know, ASK
If it looks unsafe-Don’t DO IT!!!

Pick up after yourself plus some!!
Sweep!
Put away all tools properly!-IT’S
LABELED!!!
Put all screws, hinges, etc. in the proper
place.
PAINT IS INCLUDED!!!!!!!!!!!!
Flatten nails in used lumber.
•
Do not leave long sticks in trash barrels. They
can poke others in the eyes.
•
Do not block fire extinguishers, doors, or
marked tool-safety areas.
•
Keep pathways to fire exits and for crossing
the shop clear. It can be dangerous having to
carry large items while walking over lumber
and trash.
Tools
•
•
•
•
•
•
You MUST be trained in a tool before you
can use it.
I have to train you.
I don’t care how many times you have
used the tool before.
Use the tool in the way I train you.
Any problems, let me know ASAP!!!
Make sure there is nothing in the WAY!!
(cords, wrenches, staples, etc)
•
•
•
Unplug tools when not in use
Unplug when changing a blade or
attachment.
NEVER EVER EVER EVER leave a
machine RUNNING!!!!
Safety Guards
•
All of the power equipment have safety guards.
Although at times the guards seem to be an
annoyance, they are there for a very real purpose-to protect you and those around you.
•
Unless directed otherwise by a person in charge,
always leave the guards in place and use them
properly.
•
Also, be sure to use such aids as a push sticks or
clamps when having to cut very close to the blade.
•
Horseplay of any kind is forbidden.
•
EX: Hand tools are only to be used for the
purpose they were designed.
•
Staple guns are not actual weapons
Building Buddy
•
•
•
•
ALWAYS have a building buddy.
Never cut without one.
They could save your life.
Premises are NOT to be used outside of
class/work calls.
Working Above
•
• Whenever you are to work on the grid loading deck
or any other overhead platform, all tools must be
secured so they can't fall.
•
Loose change and items in your pockets can cause
serious injury if dropped from thirty feet. They
should be removed before you ascend.
•
You are responsible to make sure the people
working beneath you know you are above them,
and whenever possible they should be cleared from
the area.
• HEADS
UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If there are fluids other than
water on the floor and it
didn’t come out of your
body,
• DON’T TOUCH IT!!!
•
All accidents must be reported
IMMEDIATELY to Ms. Jordan!!!
• First aid kit
• Nurse Martin
• 911
Hands:
•
• Hands are most susceptible to injury.
• Watch the cutting edge of any tool, especially the power
tools, and be aware of where your hands are in relation to it.
Pay attention and do not get distracted. There is a dangerous
temptation to hold parts together with one hand while
shooting pneumatic tools with the other. Sometimes staples
and nails turn inside the wood and poke out where you do
not expect them. This would seem elementary, but the
number of bad cuts from matte knives is incredible. Chisels
fall into this category also. The simple rule is to keep both
hands behind the direction in which the sharp edge is going
and never pull a blade towards your body.

OSHA General Rules for Safe
Practices
• THINK THINK THINK: Anticipate what could happen and
prepare for potential problems.
• ASK FOR HELP: If you don’t know how to do it. Stop and ask
the supervisor for help.
• UNCOMFORTABLE DON’T DO IT: If you are uncomfortable
doing something that’s when most accidents occur. Ask
someone else to complete the job.
• CLEAN UP: Keep the work area clean of extra tools,
supplies, electrical cords, sawdust, etc., to minimize the
dangers of slipping, tripping, or hurting yourself.
• WEAR APPROPRIATE SHOP CLOTHING: Avoid wearing
loose clothing, loose, long, dangling hair, and loose jewelry
when working with any power tools.
• EYE PROTECTION: When working with tools creating
sawdust or other small particles, make sure and wear eye
• SAFETY GUARDS, USE THEM: Tools have safety guards
for a reason…your protection.
• EAR PROTECTION: Tools can be loud at times, take
precaution and pop some ear plugs in!! Three tools in the
shop require the use of ear plugs. Pneumatic staple gun,
Radial Arm Saw, and Router.
• TOO HEAVY. GET HELP: OSHA requires any object
weighing over 35 pounds to be lifted in a team of two or
more.
• RIGHT TOOL RIGHT JOB: When working with equipment
use the appropriate tool for a given job. Use a hammer on a
nail not a C-Wrench.
• ACCIDENTS HAPPEN: Report any accidents, even minor
ones, to the supervisor.
• NO HORSEPLAY: The scene shop is not full of toys. It
should be respected that items can harm you. Take care in
the scene shop.
