WSH Guidelines on Safe Use of Machinery

This training course is designed to address the critical safety concerns in the manufacturing industry, where workers face significant risks of injury from machines with exposed moving parts. Each year, numerous incidents occur, ranging from severe injuries like severed limbs to fatal accidents. These incidents underscore the importance of workplace safety and health (WSH) training and the need for workers to be properly equipped to conduct thorough WSH risk assessments for all machine-related activities.

The course is specifically targeted at companies that use machines such as milling machines, band saws, drills, shears, slitting machines, food mincers, and cutters. It aims to raise awareness of the hazards associated with these machines and emphasizes the need for workers to receive comprehensive safety training. Proper training helps prevent accidents and ensures workers are competent in identifying and mitigating risks.

Participants will be introduced to good WSH practices and control measures that promote the safe use of machines. The course covers key safety procedures, such as safeguarding moving parts, maintaining equipment, and ensuring workers are fully aware of potential risks. 

By the end of the course, workers and supervisors will have a deeper understanding of the hazards posed by machinery and how to apply effective safety measures. This training is essential for reducing the risk of accidents, protecting workers, and fostering a safer work environment in the manufacturing industry.
