SAFETY
PRESENTATION
The FLATE Center for Manufacturing Education wishes to make available, for educational and non-commercial purposes
only, materials of the “Safety ” presentation comprised of images, texts, facilitator’s notes, and other demonstration
materials.
This instructional resource forms part of FLATE’s outreach efforts to facilitate a connection between students, teachers
and manufacturers throughout the State of Florida. We trust that these activities and materials will add value to your
teaching and/or presentations.
Please visit our website for additional resources, including our Made in Florida Video, a unique behind-the-scenes visit to
modern manufacturing plants in the State of Florida.

Atmosphere supplying
Respiratory Protection
•
•
Supply clean air directly to the user
from a source other than the air
surrounding the user.
Three types:
•
•
•
Air-Supplied Respirators: makes use
of a hose to deliver clean, safe
air from a stationary source of
compressed air.
Combination Respirators: have an
auxiliary self-contained air supply
that can be used if the primary
supply fails.
Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus:
consists of a wearable, clean-air
supply pack.

Learning Challenges
Air purifying Respiratory Protection
• Have filters, cartridges, or canisters that
remove contaminants from the air by
passing the ambient air through the airpurifying element before it reaches the
user.
Particulate
Three types:
•
•
•
Particulate Respirators: capture particles in the air,
such as dusts, mists, and fumes.
Combination Respirators: are normally used in
atmospheres that contain hazards of both
particulates and gases.
Gas & Vapor Respirators: are normally used when
there are only hazardous gases and vapors in the
air.

Feet Protection
•Have impact-resistant toes and heat-resistant soles that protect against hot surfaces
common in roofing, paving, and hot metal industries.
•When welding and/or cutting, high top (minimum 6”) boot that are covered by
the pant leg shall be worn.
•May be designed to be electrically conductive for use in explosive atmospheres, or
nonconductive to protect from workplace electrical hazards.

Your challenge
Safety Inspector
• Your job is to inspect the Material Testing
Laboratory at a Metal Machining and Product
Fabrication Company.
• You are looking for safety measures and safety
violations.
• You are given a Safety Checklist of things to look
for.
• Inspect each picture and note if the safety
requirements from the list are met. If not, suggest
what should be done to correct the violation(s).
