Hello Cyubahiro,

It is good that you are wanting to best prepare yourself in terms of safety when it comes to workshop. I will write down a list of things for you to think about and look over. I would also suggest you look up the rules at your workshop as well. Hope this helps!

List:
-Wear PPE
-Dress appropriately
-Remove jewelry
-If you have long hair, tie it
-Work with a professor/professional
-Work with other people
-Wash your hands and keep area clean
-Know emergency procedures

Hello, Cyubahiro !

As a Home Builders Institute student working in a shop, your instructors would be making the students aware of safety practices and guidelines. You will learn them gradually.

You didn't state which Program you will be attending - Job Corps. Community and Corrections, Military, Future Builders of America, or Build Strong Academies. Depending on where you'll receive the training, the instructor will be responsible to oversee the students and will direct the student to use the safest techniques. In some instances, the instructor may have staff that work in the shop that also guide and oversee the students. This may be something to find out for your specific place if there are additional staff in the shop as well as the instructor. This cannot be addressed randomly or in general.

There will be federal guidelines for workshop safety in place as stated in the OSHA Standard 1910.213(s)(9). Your school/program location will also have guidelines in place to assure safety. Even if you are not familiar with these measures now, part of your education will be gradually learning how to properly use the machinery and tools. Your training should include procedures for handling emergencies, such as machine malfunctions or accidents, and the importance of reporting incidents immediately.

The importance of the guidelines will be explained to you as you proceed with learning each type of job that construction requires. Most of it you can figure out for yourself, though, the point is to keep you safe, uninjured and able to do the job efficiently.

My advice is to go for an orientation at the actual place you'll be training at and have the staff there answer all your questions. Places vary so to have your questions answered for your specific experience you will have, getting the information straight from the program is your best bet. You'll have lots of support while working in the shop.

I hope this helps in general and I wish you all the best !
