Level 2 Technician / Ag Equipment Mechanic. Materials and supplies are available for the learning activities Provide teaching in a variety of modalities. Electrical, air conditioning, fuel, emissions, brake, steering, hydraulics, completes machine shop operations, making adjustments and alignments including break loads, gear tooth. The use of automated conveyors to move products and materials in factories is an area of high demand for these workers, because the conveyor belts, motors, and rollers need regular care and maintenance. Job Prospects for Industrial Machinery Mechanic, Machinery Maintenance Worker, and Millwright. Machine tools and cutting tools to make parts utilizing metal, plastic, glass or wood. This category includes lathes, workbenches, drill presses, mills, grinders, boring machines, and much more.

The hazards associated with shop areas require special safety considerations. The potential for personal injury is significant whether you work in a wood, metal, glass, vehicle repair, electrical, or other shop. Examples of hazards include: rotating parts, flying chips/particulate, cuts, pinch points and/or exposure to gases or chemicals. It is not possible to note all the potential risks involved with the various shops. However, it is possible to avoid many hazards by carefully planning your work prior to using any equipment or machinery. To prevent accidents, utilize your knowledge, training, and common sense. Know the hazards associated with your work and minimize or eliminate them prior to commencing work.

Before working in a shop area, be sure you are properly trained to perform the work to be done. This includes completing the Basic Shop Safety Training as well as any required training specific to the machinery/equipment you will be working on. Inspect your tools and equipment before using them. If a procedure is potentially hazardous to others in the area, alert them accordingly. Notify your supervisor if you notice any unsafe conditions such as: defective tools/equipment or machines that are not properly guarded. Be careful not to distract persons who are working in the shop area. Always remember that machinery/equipment can be dangerous when not used properly. Ensure you are following RIT’s Shop Safety guidelines that are posted in shop areas. These guidelines can also be found by clicking the Shop Safety Rules link on the right side of this page.

Machine/Equipment Guards

Moving machine parts must be safeguarded to protect operators from serious injury. Belts, gears, shafts, pulleys, fly wheels, blades, chains, chucks, and other moving parts must be guarded if there is a chance they could cause injury. The hazards associated with moving machinery can be deadly. See information about RIT’s Machine Guarding program via the link to the right.

Training Requirements

Mechanic

The RIT Environmental Health & Safety Department provides basic Shop Safety Training on-line.

Reading Materials (machine Shop)the Mechanic Equipment

Also note that everyone needs to take machine/equipment specific training. Instruction in the safe use and care of machines and equipment is essential in preventing injuries in shop areas.

Reading Materials (machine Shop)the Mechanic Training

Training should include:

  • How to safely operate machinery/equipment used in shops;
  • The purpose and proper use of machine safeguards;
