Excuse me, but I was raised by a single working mother who taught me about
safety every day. Both my parents taught me that I was personally
responsible for my actions & my safety. My parents married in college &
grew in different directions between their 20s & their 30s. Risk
assessment wouldn't have fixed that.
However, the fact that no one is as concerned for my safety as I am, does
not excuse any institution from providing appropriate safety systems.
In my opinion, a machine shop should have a monitor whenever it is open
for use. Lathes are not the only power tools available (saws, drills,
sanders,etc.). In case of emergency, someone needs to be there to hit the
emergency shutoff, call for help, apply pressure, etc.

Grandma probably raised Mom in a one parent home where she was out to work
most of the time. So Mom wasn't too savvy about safety for starters and
she had to be out working, too. If either Grandma or Mom had understood
risk assessment, they wouldn't have been single parents.
So a significant portion of students are clueless. And clueless is
combined with the invincibility syndrome, a typical mental aberration
often accompanied by periods of acute stupidity which is seen even in kids
who have been raised by two safety conscious parents. Prepare to
spoon-feed safety to them, Ernie.

Good grief! Safety training begins at home. DidnŐt your mother teach you
not to touch the hot stove - or to look both ways before crossing the
street? Apparently not.
