From the study guide
Maintaining a safe work environment is the foundational requirement for any machinist, as the shop floor presents high-risk hazards including rotating machinery, high-pressure coolants, and heavy material handling. The core theory relies on the Hierarchy of Controls, which prioritizes the elimination of hazards, followed by engineering controls, administrative controls, and finally, personal protective equipment (PPE). Understanding these principles is critical for preventing catastrophic injuries such as entanglement, lacerations, or eye damage from flying chips.
