plastic part machining
Consider the parts of a toaster, such as the metal or plastic
housing or the lever that lowers the toast. These parts, and many
other metal and plastic products, are produced by machine setters,
operators, and tenders-metal and plastic. In fact, machine tool
operators in the metalworking and plastics industries play a major
role in producing most of the consumer products on which we rely
daily.
Most machine setters, operators, and tenders-metal and plastic
work in areas that are clean, well lit, and well ventilated. Nevertheless,
many operators require stamina, because they are on their feet
much of the day and may do moderately heavy lifting. Also, these
workers operate powerful, high-speed machines that can be dangerous
if strict safety rules are not observed. Most operators wear protective
equipment, such as safety glasses and earplugs, to protect against
flying particles of metal or plastic and against noise from the
machines. However, many modern machines are enclosed, minimizing
the exposure of workers to noise, dust, and lubricants used during
machining. Other required safety equipment varies by work setting
and machine. For example, those in the plastics industry who work
near materials that emit dangerous fumes or dust must wear face
masks or self-contained breathing apparatus.
