From the study guide
Maintaining a safe work environment in a tool and die shop requires strict adherence to the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) and Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) standards. A clean, organized shop floor prevents trip hazards, minimizes fire risks from oil-soaked rags, and ensures clear access to emergency exits and fire suppression equipment. Proper housekeeping is not merely an aesthetic choice but a critical safety protocol that prevents accidents involving heavy machinery and sharp tooling.
