with which they come in contact.
 Depressant effect upon the central nervous system, particularly
the brain.

always instead of water.
SAFETY MEASURES

16. Mechanicalhazards

17. Rotating Machinery
Causes-Machinery with rotating parts can catch loose
clothing, hands or hair, potentially causing serious
injuries.
Prevention- Ensure rotating shafts, belts and pulleys
are covered by guards, lids or covers.
Tools
Causes-Careless use of tools or use of tools in poor
condition can cause injuries to the hands, eyes, head and
limbs.
Prevention-regularly check tools for defects or damage.
CAUSESANDPREVENTIONS

18. Magnets
Causes-Large, powerful magnets or electromagnets can
attract other magnets or iron/nickel objects which can
cause painful pinching of fingers or hands if caught
between the two.
Prevention-Inform peoples of this hazard before
such magnets are used.
Glassware
Causes-Any kind of glassware has the potential to
break, thus creating the risk for cuts.
Preventions-wear goggles for eye protection.use heat-
resistant glassware.clean up any broken glass
immediately and dispose of in a special waste bin.
