What’s New
Now, let’s have a story about some wonderful ideas for safe storage along
with guidelines on how to use common tools and items found in your sewing and
craft room.

Let’s Read This!

When my mother first started teaching me to sew, she told me about one
of her earliest sewing mishaps. She was about five years old, and was playing
with her mother's treadle machine (even though she knew she wasn't allowed to).
Sure enough, she turned the flywheel while her finger was under the needle. But
she knew if she cried out, she would be punished for playing with the machine,
so she had to back the needle out and bandage the wound herself. Her mother
never found out about the accident, and my mother never had another machine
mishap again.

Mom's story made a big impression on me. Since then, I have always
been a cautious sewer. So far (knock wood!), I have avoided any serious sewing
injury; however, thousands of other sewing enthusiasts every year are not as
fortunate.

Sewing involves lots of opportunities for injury. Some of these are obvious,
but some are less so. Sewers can injure their bodies in almost imperceptible
ways.

The most obvious injuries are those caused by sharp implements such as
needles and cutting tools. In addition to puncture wounds, sewers are at risk for
slicing wounds (from scissors and rotary cutters) and burns (from irons). Taking
basic precautions will reduce the risk of injury in the sewing.

What is It
Types of Hazard
1. A chemical hazard is any substance that can cause harm primarily to
people.

2. An electrical hazard can be defined as a dangerous condition where a


worker could make electrical contact with energized equipment or a
conductor, and from which the person may sustain an injury from shock;
and/or, there is potential for the worker to receive an arc flash burn,
thermal burn, or blast injury.

3. Ergonomic hazards include:


 improper adjusted workstations and chairs;
 frequent lifting;
 poor posture;
 awkward movements;
 using too much force;
 vibration.

4. Psychological hazard relates to mental health and behavioral disorders.


5. Radiation Hazard (RADHAZ) describes the hazards of electromagnetic
radiation to fuels, electronic hardware, ordinance, and personnel. In the
military these hazards are segregated as follows:
a) Hazards of Electromagnetic Radiation to Personnel (HERP)
b) Hazards of Electromagnetic Radiation to Ordnance (HERO)
c) Hazards of Electromagnetic Radiation to Fuel (HERF)

6. A biological hazard or biohazard is anything coming from living organisms

6. Physical hazards are those substances which threaten your physical


safety.
