If it is some time since you have completed the General Module you should read the Review Module. The test for the Metals and Engineering Module contains some questions based on the Review Module.

There are common hazards that exist in the metals and engineering industry. It is important to learn about these hazards and how to work safely.

The Metals and Engineering Module contains information on:

• Mechanical Equipment;

• Forklifts;

• Welding;

• Hazardous Substances;

• Manual Handling;

• Slips Trips and Falls;

• Noise.

Within the metals and engineering industry you may be involved in a range of work activities such as cutting or pressing metal, welding, grinding, metal fabrication or casting metal.

Your employer should provide safe work areas and equipment, information, instruction, training and supervision and personal protective equipment when hazards in the workplace cannot be eliminated or to increase protection.

You should follow safety instructions and use equipment safely, not only for your own safety, but also the safety of others.
