Engine Manufacturing Industry
Engine Manufacturing Industry
Without an engine, your car isn’t going anywhere – unless you want to be like Fred Flinstone and power it with your feet. The engine manufacturing industry not only makes engines for passenger vehicles but it also makes engines for planes, boats, helicopters, large trucks, and large equipment.
The Repair and Maintenance Industry
The Repair and Maintenance Industry
If you drive a car or truck, you can expect to take it in for preventative maintenance and repair. Most people take their vehicles to a professional. However, some can do the work themselves. Regardless, whoever works on vehicles, whether in a professional shop or a home garage, you should have the proper personal protective equipment to protect yourself. Auto mechanics, body shop workers, machine shop workers, and others involved in the automotive industry often work with sharp metal, tools – including those that could cause injury, and chemicals. Having the proper PPE is a must.
Learning About Breaker Bars
Learning about breaker bars
A breaker bar is a hand-held tool used to loosen or tighten bolts and nuts. It is similar in design to a ratchet wrench but has a more extended handle that provides increased leverage, making it easier to break loose stubborn fasteners. The handle is usually made of metal or heavy-duty plastic and is attached to a socket that fits over the head of the bolt or nut. Breaker bars are commonly used in automotive repair, industrial maintenance, and construction work.
Machine Shops Industry
Machine Shops Industry
Machine shops provide a pivotal role in metal fabrication, automotive, aircraft, shipbuilding and other industries that work with metal, metal parts and engines. A machine shop can craft special parts, machine and mill existing parts, and more. For example, when a crankshaft has score marks on it, a machine shop can “turn” it to remove the score marks.
Roofing Industry
Roofing Industry
Roofers mostly work in the late spring, summer, and early fall, when the weather is nicer. However, it is also very hot. In addition to looking out for regular work injuries, roofers must also be careful of heat-related illnesses, including heat stroke. Roofers must constantly be aware of injuries caused by falling, especially on roofs that are higher than one story. They install roofs on new construction, repair roofs and replace roofs.
