Safety Laws & Standards

Utah law requires all individuals to wear industrial quality eye protection devices while participating in or observing industrial education activities involving hot molten metals; the operation of equipment that could throw particles of foreign matter into the eyes; heat-treating, tempering, or kiln firing of any industrial materials; gas or electric arc welding; or caustic or explosive material. See Utah Code 53G-9-206.

The college environment attempts to replicate on-the-job working conditions in preparation for employment. Students are expected to conform to industry standards for safety and appearance by using appropriate safety equipment and wearing industry-prescribed clothing. See Policy 600.609 Student Rights and Responsibilities and the individual Educational Program page (https://btech.edu/programs/) or course syllabus for more information.
