Abstract
Proper evaluation of various risks involved in job specifications in the workshop, and appropriate implementation, and adherence to the correct safety rules by instructors and all workshop users is a determinant factor in achievement of absolute safety in the workshop. Acquaintance and compliance with the basic safety practices in engineering profession in the course of undergraduate training makes safety engineering professionals in the field. Observance of safety measures in workshop among engineering students of Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta was assessed using 44-item questionnaire. The questionnaire assessed the demography, housekeeping, personal protective devices, use of equipment, tools, and machineries, first aid and hygiene observation. A sample size of 195 engineering students was recruited for the study which cut across 2nd
