If you are attempting die casting yourself, you must follow
recommended safety protocols. The injury rate for people in the die
casting industry is roughly twice that of other industries, so it is
crucial to follow the necessary steps for the safe execution of
the melting, casting, trimming, machining, and finishing processes that
go with die casting.
Make Use of Safety Devices
Safety devices are an important way to protect operators from machine
hazards. For example, a fixed guard provides a barrier that prevents
people from reaching into a machine and crushing their hands.
These machines can interfere with visibility, but they may be worth it for the protection it provides.
Make Sure All Machines Are in Working Order
Before starting to work with die casting, it’s important to ensure
all machines you’ll be using are clean, functioning properly and will
not present any obvious threats to safety.
The time to find out that a machine is not functioning correctly is not in the middle of a production run.
Wear Protective Gear

You should wear appropriate protective gear (also called PPE –
personal protective equipment) which includes safety glasses, ear
protection, and safety shoes at all times when working on your die
casting. Even if you are spending a short amount of time on the
production floor, you need to wear your safety equipment.
It only takes a moment for a crippling accident to occur.
Pay Attention and Follow All Established Protocols
Most accidents are caused when someone loses focus or doesn’t perform
a task as safety protocols recommend. Die casters are working with high
levels of heat and molten metal, and it is very easy to get badly
burned if you are not paying proper attention to what you are doing.
Read Provided Safety Information
As a professional die caster or the manager of a die casting company,
it is important to make sure you are fully versed in and follow all
necessary safety procedures. 96 percent of injuries in the die casting
workplace are caused by unsafe acts, meaning they can be avoided by
staying focused and following proper safety procedures.
