Full Description

This booklet is designed to present to emplo yees and employers a summary of the basic safety procedures and safe guards associated with hand and portable power tools. Material in this booklet is based on the standards of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration; this booklet, however, should not be considered as a substitute for the full safety and health standards for general industry (published in Title 29 Code of  Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 1910, Subpart P), or for the construction industry (published in 29 CFR Part 1926, Subpart I).

Tools are such a common part of our li ves that it is difficult to remember that they may pose hazards. Tragically, a serious inci￾dent can occur before steps are taken to identify and a void or eliminate tool-related hazards.
Employees who use hand and po wer tools and are exposed to the hazards of falling, flying, abrasive, and splashing objects, or to harmful dusts, fumes, mists, vapors, or gases must be pro vided with the appropriate personal protective equipment. All electrical connections for these tools must be suitable for the type of tool and the working conditions (wet, dusty, flammable vapors). When a temporary power source is used for construction a ground-f ault
circuit interrupter should be used.

Employees should be trained in the proper use of all tools. Workers should be able to recognize the hazards associated with the different types of tools and the safety precautions necessary  Five basic safety rules can help pre vent hazards associated with the use of hand and power tools:

  • Keep all tools in good condition with re gular maintenance.
  • Use the right tool for the job .
  • Examine each tool for damage before use and do not use damaged tools.
  • Operate tools according to the manuf acturers’ instructions.
  • Provide and use properly the right personal protective equipment.

Employees and employers should work together to establish safe working procedures. If a hazardous situation is encountered, it should be brought immediately to the attention of the proper individual for hazard abatement.
The following sections identify v arious types of hand and po wer tools and their potential hazards. They also identify ways to prevent worker injury through proper use of the tools and through the use of appropriate personal protecti ve equipment.
