On Fridays I am supposed to supervise/coordinate the mens shed and we generally get about 15-20 attendees.
We have a full safety induction, safety notices and signs, safety features in the newsletter, reminders etc.
Here is a list of potentially unsafe activities I noted today.
- using a wire wheel on a bench grinder with just regular eyeglasses
- using a jointer on small stock with no push sticks.
- using a screw driver as a push stick on a table saw
- fiddling around with stock under an RAS with the arm fully extended and the blade running
- not an activity but a donation from a member - a half dozen files with the the ends ground for wood turning.
I'm quite a bit younger than most members, and I was not a tradie so don't have that credibility, so it's not that easy for me to convince the culprits to do the right thing.
Does anyone have any ideas about how to get their attention about this?
