Technical Advisory on Safe Use of Power Presses and Press Brakes

Overview
Curriculum

This training course focuses on the safe usage of power presses and press brakes, both essential yet hazardous machines used in various industries. The course is built around the guidelines provided in the associated Technical Advisory, which details best practices for safeguarding operators and mitigating risks during machine operation.

The primary goal of the course is to educate participants on the safety and health measures that must be implemented during the installation, commissioning, relocation, modification, setup, operation, and maintenance of power presses and press brakes. These machines, if not handled properly, pose significant risks, including potential for severe injury due to mechanical faults, improper setup, or human error. By addressing these hazards, the course aims to reduce the likelihood of accidents and ensure compliance with workplace safety standards.

Participants will also learn how to identify, assess, and manage risks related to the operation of these machines. This includes understanding the common hazards, such as mechanical movement, high pressure, and pinch points, as well as the importance of implementing protective measures like proper machine guarding, lockout/tagout procedures, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE).

In addition, the course covers the critical training requirements for personnel who operate power presses and press brakes. Proper training ensures that operators are knowledgeable about the specific risks of the machines they work with and are equipped with the skills to perform their duties safely and effectively. This includes training on machine setup, safety protocols, emergency response procedures, and routine maintenance tasks.

Although the course aligns with the safety and health guidelines outlined in the Technical Advisory, compliance with these recommendations alone does not exempt participants from their legal obligations under workplace safety regulations. By the end of the course, attendees will be equipped with the knowledge and practical skills to safely manage power presses and press brakes, ultimately creating a safer work environment.
