Safety Manuals

Had an orientation for machine shop safety today, which was followed by a ~50 question multiple choice test. Little did I know that we were supposed to have read a safety manual (actually, I did know, but I just read the safety guidelines, which I thought was the manual, until I realized it wasn’t) or that we were allowed to print them out and use them during the test, but a lot of the questions kinda seemed like common sense, though not as easy as the ones in the daily flash. Many questions were about things discussed/shown in the orientation, so paying attention is necessary (which I did!). Some of the questions were kinda specific, and I didn’t know those so I kinda guessed, and got some of them correct. The tests were checked right after we finished taking them, and I passed! Actually I don’t think failing it really does anything; you just have to retake the test or something. And yeah. Safety. I guess I will read that manual even though I don’t think I’ll really be using the machine shop that often.
