Hi this is Kurt with Travers Tool Company and today we are going to talk about Machine Shop Safety

Let me introduce you to the Universal Precaution Compliance Kit which is the perfect compliment to your existing first aid kit!

Not sure what that is? Let's open it together. 

First off, a pair of vinyl gloves is included (stay tuned as we teach you how to remove them correctly)

The kit also includes a disposable apron to help keep your clothes safe from spills or stains

The combination mask comes equipped with an attached safety shield to cover your eyes and nose!

Also includes Red Z Solidifier (10gm pouch) to help you clean up that spill 

Plus a disposable scoop & scraper

Don't forget the hazardous waste disposable bag with tag & tie

Hold the glove you just removed in your gloved hand. Peel off the second glove by putting your fingers inside the glove at the top of your wrist. Turn the second glove inside out while pulling it away from your body, leaving the first glove inside the second. Dispose of the gloves safely. 

Safety glasses are important in every machine shop. Finding the right pair to go over your own prescription glasses can be difficult, however, these OTMT glasses are some of the best I’ve found on the market!

Protecting your ears in a loud machine shop is also very important. Check out our selection of Elvex disposable ear plugs and find out how to use them properly with the video above. 

That’s it for todays Tips & Tricks episode & we hope you enjoyed it. If you have any questions, comments, or ideas for future episodes, let us know at Social@travers.com
