Students are expected to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity.
Behavior that violates these standards is not acceptable. Examples are the use of
unauthorized material, communication with fellow students during an examination,
attempting to benefit from the work of another student and similar behavior that
defeats the intent of an examination or other class work. Cheating on
examinations, plagiarism, improper acknowledgment of sources in essays and the
use of a single essay or paper in more than one course without permission are
considered very serious offenses and shall be grounds for disciplinary action as
outlined in the current General Catalogue.

Laboratory Safety Rules
Mr. Blakeney
The department of Industrial Technology has enjoyed an excellent safety record. This is directly attributed
to the combined efforts of the students, faculty, and staff alike. We must all follow correct safety
procedures while working in all of the Manufacturing Laboratories. This will enable us to accomplish our
goals of maintaining a healthy and accident free environment, to promote a positive safety attitude, and to
learn the practical aspects of safety in the workplace appropriate for future supervisors and teachers.
The following safety rules are divided into the four major areas of General Safety Instructions, Safety
Instructions for Personal Protection, Safety Instruction for the Use of Tools, Equipment, and Machines, and
Personal Attitudes and Conduct.

ABC – Always Be Careful. Never take chances.
Observe all safety rules.
Report immediately to your instructor upon incurring any injury, even though you feel it is negligible.
No horseplay or playing practical jokes in the laboratory.
Caution any person you see violating a safety rule.
Do not run in the lab.
Be considerate of the safety of others.
Never throw any object in the laboratory.
Learn the location and use of the fire extinguishers.
In the event of fire, notify the instructor immediately.
Insure that there is adequate ventilation for the task being performed. Occasionally, a window may
need to be opened or a fan may be needed to help circulate the air.
Follow prescribed safety instructions in lifting or handling awkward, large, heavy, and or long pieces
of material. In general, never carry material over six feet in length or over 50 pounds in weight
without assistance. Lift with your legs, not your back.
Never use compressed air for purposes other than specified in your experiments. Likewise, be careful
around pressurized hydraulic systems.
Make certain your hands and tools are kept free of oil and grease.
If you feel ill, do not work in the lab. Report to your instructor.
Never treat, or remove particles from the eye. See your instructor or school health personnel for
immediate attention.

Do not use tools, equipment, and machines until instruction relative to their safe operation has been
given.
Observe safety rules for all machines and equipment. Follow prescribed procedures when working
with mechanical, electrical, fluid, or combined power systems.
Know and follow the specific requirements of the kind and type of machine you are operating.
Secure approval of your instructor before you begin working. This applies to all experiments and
projects in which you use the lab tools, equipment, machines, and supplies.
Have your instructor check special machine setups.
Students may use the tools, machines, and equipment only when the instructor is present in the lab.
Do not use defective tools, machines, and equipment. Inform the instructor immediately.
Be sure the guards are in place and functioning properly before turning on machinery. Do not remove
guards and other safety devices.
Machines must be operated by only one person at a time.
Do not talk with or otherwise distract other students while you or they are operating machines.
Persons not operating power tools or machinery should keep clear of the operator and the work area.
Never leave a machine while it is running.
When in use, give the machine your undivided attention; never look away for any reason.
Allow revolving machinery to stop on its own. Resist the desire to grab chucks, spindles, or other
rotating parts with the hand.
Do not stop or start a machine for another person except in an emergency.
Do not tamper with adjustments or play with machinery at any time. Serious accidents may result.
Do not lean on machines and equipment. You may press a switch or throw a control which could
endanger the safety of the operator or damage the machine.
Check machines and make all adjustments before turning on the power.
Turn power off and allow the machine to come to a complete stop before adjusting, cleaning, removing
work, or making new set-ups.
Make sure other persons are clear before starting machinery.
Allow a safe distance between your hands and blades, cutters, or moving parts. Keep your fingers in
such a position that there is no danger of their slipping into the cutter or moving parts.
Keep machines clear of tools, stock, and other items.
Develop a respect for machine tools and understand their purpose.
Recognize the distinctive sound of a properly adjusted and smooth running machine tool. If something
doesn’t sound right, there is probably something wrong.
Use the proper size and type of hand tool for the specific task.
Use the right tool for the job.
Keep tools and materials from projecting over the edge of your workstation so that others will not walk
into them and become injured.
Clean workstations and place tools in the proper areas at the end of each class period.
When finished with a tool, clean and return it to its proper location.
Ensure that vise hands hang free when not in use.
Be aware of pinch points around vises, presses, hydraulic and pneumatic components, and other such
hazardous areas when working with machines and equipment.
Keep the floor around the tools clear of liquids, scraps, tools, and other materials.
If oil is spilled on the lab floor, immediately stop what you are doing and clean up the spill.
Make sure that all cutting tools are sharp and in good condition before using them.
Handle edged or pointed tools by the handles, with sharp points or edges pointed away from yourself
and others.
When using sharp-edged tools, be sure to direct their action away from yourself and your classmates.
Pass tools to other persons with handles forward.
Carefully read your lab manual instruction sheets before operating machines and equipment.
Avoid using wrenches that do not properly fit the nuts, bolts, or other objects which they are being
used to turn.
