Metalworking Room Precautions apply   

You will be working in the Metalworking Room . In order to keep safe from hazards created by you or other workers using any of the tools in this room, the following precautions apply in addition to any other precautions:

Safety

There are many things happening in this room that could hurt bystanders as well as operators (fumes, blinding lights, noise). Always be vigilant when working in this room: alert any bystanders if your work could harm them, and be aware that other people may start doing hazardous work at any time. Metal will be hot after certain operations (welding, forging, turning); do not touch random metal that's lying around (especially on the welding table) unless you know it is safe (use an IR thermometer to check).

Potential hazards

  • Noise
  • Fire
  • Fumes
  • Dust
  • Lacerations
  • Blinding lights
  • Burn
  • RUSes (Rodents of Unusual Size)

The oily rags bin is located in near the Flammables Cabinet (metal working room).

Oily Rags Bins

edit at Template:Oily Rags Bins

Rags that are contaminated with polymerizing oils / oxidizing oils / drying oils (such as danish oil, tung oil and similar) are a fire hazard. They heat up while the oil dries, and if they are bunched up they can heat up until they self-ignite. For this reason, oily rags must not be thrown into the regular garbage.

Oily rags need to be left to dry flat. At North Forge, you can leave them to dry under the Paint Room Fume Extractor .

for all

When and how do we consider them dried enough, and who then puts the rags into the oily rag bin?
