I'm in a position to take a job with a local community college as a part time instructor. The class I would be teaching is Introduction to Manual Machining. This is part of a Manufacturing program that is brand new to the school.
The classes will be taught by multiple instructors, all part of a pool of part time instructors. A CAD teacher, a Manual Machining teacher, and a CNC teacher.
I have a lot of concerns, biggest one is personal liability for an accident where a student hurts himself, which is highly possible for a beginner in a machine shop.
The school doesn't have any classroom setting more dangerous.
I've done a lot of reading, and bottom line, a teacher can be sued along with the school. The minimal hours offered for the position, 5 hours class time/week doesn't justify teachers liability insurance which I'm sure is not cheap for a position like this.
Anyone else hear have any experience or knowledge of my concerns?
Thank you.
