Any class that uses dangerous material or machines needs safety rules. This book covers machines used in metalworking shops as well as woodworking. This book is more geared to sculptural classes but some of the things can go along with small metals; such as drill press safety which is just like flex shaft safety. It also talks about general safety like wearing goggles and keeping hair pulled back.
