Technology at school is a very interesting and entertaining subject. For more than half an hour you can not think about boring mathematics and the Russian language, but do something practical. At a technology lesson, a student contacts the dough with piercing, cutting and other dangerous objects, which means that he has a risk of injury. To minimize these risks and, at best, reduce them to zero, you must know the safety precautions in technology lessons.
General rules
Safety in the technology lessons is formed depending on the different type of activity, but there are generally accepted rules that must be observed regardless of the type of your activity in the lesson. Let's list them.
First, it’s not recommended to be late for a technology lesson. It is advisable to come in five minutes to have time to prepare your workplace and change into work clothes. If you came before the teacher, then go to the audience is not worth it.
Secondly, for safety, you should not be distracted in a technology lesson, you need to carefully listen to the teacher and start work only with his permission. Do not pay attention to extraneous matters, and if there is a need to be distracted, it is better to interrupt work.
Thirdly, it is forbidden to use faulty working tools. If the equipment is damaged - inform the teacher.
Fourthly, after the work done, it is necessary to carefully remove the workplace, remove the protective clothing and carefully fold it.
Safety Instruction
Before starting work in the lesson, the teacher is obliged to conduct instruction. This is a specific set of safety rules for technology lessons. It is divided into introductory briefing, which is carried out for the first time; primary - at the beginning of a major topic; unscheduled, which is necessary if a traumatic situation has occurred and students need re-training; repeated - performed once every six months; target - performed before working with equipment that has not been used previously.
At the end of the safety training in technology lessons, students are given a journal in which they must sign in order to confirm that the rules have been listened to and learned.
Rules for boys
Work in the workshop involves the use of various sharp dimensional objects and machine tools. Before starting work, it is necessary to wear protective equipment, as a rule, for each particular type of work they are individual - glasses, a dressing gown, a hat, mittens.
If the lesson involves the manual processing of wood and metal, then before work it is necessary to check the serviceability of the working tool and the reliability of fixing the source material in special clamps. In the process, you must be careful, to calculate the force applied to the impact or cutting equipment. Do not brush away metal shavings or hold the source material with your hand that is not protected by a special glove.
When working with the machine, it is necessary to check the tool’s performance “idle”, to feed the source materials carefully and smoothly and not try to touch the mechanism with your hands.
Rules for girls
The safety precautions in the technology lessons for girls are slightly different from those in the workshop. The work of girls is mainly related to sewing or cooking. Overalls are the same everywhere - an apron and a hat.
When working with an electric sewing machine, it is strictly forbidden to be distracted, to bend too close to a working needle. If possible, use a thimble and make sure that your fingers are not too close to the foot. Do not put needles or other sharp objects into your mouth. If you need to use the iron, check that it is working properly before use, and do not put your hands too close to a hot surface during operation.
When working in the kitchen, follow the rules of personal hygiene: wash your hands. Use cutting boards with special markings. Do not move quickly near boiling pots. When cutting and cleaning any products, do not rush and be careful.
Rules for elementary grades
Safety in the elementary school technology lessons is based on what is used in the classroom. Children are mainly engaged in simple needlework, master crafts.
Before class, you must remove all the textbooks and cover the desk with oilcloth so as not to get dirty. It is recommended to collect hair and change into a special bathrobe or apron.
The teacher needs to make sure that the children carefully use the scissors: they cut only with the sharp end away from themselves, and pass the sharp end to themselves; did not taste glue or plasticine, did not dabble with them, did not scatter. Needles should always be threaded - it’s easier to find. Under no circumstances should children be allowed to take a needle in their mouth or use it without a thimble.
After the lesson, the child must carefully fold the tools used, wash his hands and change clothes.
