Jenkins Academy of Applied Technology
MPF-001 — Employer workplace component
Mechanical Power Presses and Forging · v1.0.0 · October 22, 2026
Course developed by Todd Jerome Jenkins, MS, CSP.
Online knowledge component only. Actual machine-specific instruction, supervised work, maintenance competence, energy-control training and employer verification remain separate. This course does not approve a machine design or provide PSDI certification, validation or blanket operator/maintenance qualification.
Complete this worksheet using the actual workplace and current plan. A blank form or course score is not evidence that the action occurred. Record actual dates and observations. Print or save a completed copy before closing; entries are not automatically stored. Do not sign in advance or treat this worksheet as blanket machine authorization.
| Component | Actual evidence |
|---|---|
| Machine and role identification | Identify the actual machine, clutch/drive, mode, operation, assigned role, applicable requirements and manufacturer/employer instructions. |
| Safeguarding and work readiness | Verify approved guards/devices, access routes, authorized settings and distances, operator protection, controls, ratings and work area. |
| Operating and energy-control instruction | Provide actual safe-work instruction and supervision; verify stopping/reporting, jam limits, die procedures and separate authorized-employee isolation/blocking competence. |
| Inspection and specialized records | Maintain the applicable general/directed press inspection and maintenance records, forging inspection certification and personnel competence; separately confirm PSDI prerequisites, checks, training records and system validation if applicable. |
| Observed understanding and assignment | Record actual instruction and safe demonstration, corrections, restrictions, trainer/evaluator and employer assignment; provide needed further instruction and prompt injury-reporting arrangements. |
Use the actual work and plan. Arrange clear instruction, questions, teach-back and suitable safe practice. Correct a critical gap before relying on the arrangement. Academy support is asynchronous and is not an emergency contact route.
