1. Study of mechanical engineering sector

Mechanical processing is the process of using machines, technologies, concerned primarily with the application of principles to generate products with high precision.

Mechanics is useful to create a range of products including equipment and tools used to replace with manual labor, serve for production activities and business purposes. At same time, they can create consumer products that are applied for human life. 

1.1 The concept of production processes.

Mechanical processing is a collection of procedures that allow people to modify the shapes, dimensions, and other characteristics of materials to create flawless products.

Production processes:

- Step 1: Ideas and designs by engineers.

- Step 2: Drawings files generated by engineers.

- Step 3: Humans apply machines for production.

This is how people and machines are coming together. Therefore, it is crucial for humans to understand the machine.

1.2 Processing methods.

With a range of different processing methods, ones of them are typical methods including: Laser cutting, CNC cutting, machining, milling, welding, taping, punching, etc.

All of them require tools/machines to work with.

2. Workplace safety

2.1 The concept of workplace safety.

Risks in the workplace are assessed and categorized in terms of workplace safety. Then, measures are taken to safeguard the wellbeing of the workforce during production activities.

2.2 Workplace safety for mechanical engineering sector.

One of the industries with the most risk and danger is mechanical engineering. If the workforce doesn't follow the safety laws and regulations, there is a great likelihood that accidents may occur at work.

Safety is therefore the first priority for every organization. Every individual and organization must be knowledgeable about workplace safety and implement effective prevention measures.
