topic 8: Workplace safety

Task one: Some of the potential hazards that can be found in my workplace learining of screen printing would be, first off, is handling the razor kind of a knife which is used to cutting the paper from the logo stickers peeling it off. this razor is very sharp and should only be used in your workstation for that only use. another hazord would be printing the pictures and logos on the t-shirt working with heavey machinery and also picking up the shirts out when it is steam pressed which is hot where you could burn yourself very bad.


Task two: In OSHAS safety and health topics i read one topic where machinery in the printing stuff on shirts has caused many deaths i read one them where a 19-year old worker was crushed by a screen printing press when the infrared emergency stop reversed the motion of the printing frame faster then normal as usual. i understand how just with one small mistake like that could happen when working with machinery could cause for something fatal. and learned how unexperienced i am in the business, knowing i should be more careful in handling situations like that.

Task three: For now in my workplace learning i have been doing nothing much, for that reason becuase business has been slowing down and it could get worst in the future in affected by the economy. so my time being there has been very slow, my experience so far has been the same except for the work part. although that is the only negative experience im in. but i am expected to still be there and make the best of it of what i can do and be helpful as much as i can, like cleaning up the place something like that.
