Annual Refresher TrainingTools and Machine Guards
Hazard Recognition
Tools are common in “day-to-day” life
Difficult to spot hazards due to familiarity
Most tools manufactured with safety devices
Users must inspect the tool daily
Tools are often misused
Tools and equipment used on the job can be dangerous devices. Even a simple hand tool can cause injury. Workers with little or no training are the highest risk for injury
Examples of Misuse
Using a screwdriver as a chisel
Using tools with loose handles
Wrenches with sprung jaws
Hand Tools Safety
Regular plastic dipped handles on hand tools are not for working on electrical equipment.
If a wooden handle on a tool, such as a hammer or axe is loose, splintered or cracked, the head of the tool may dislodge from the handle.
A wrench must not be used if its jaws are sprung.
Impact tools, such as chisels, wedges or drift pins are unsafe if they have mushroomed heads. The heads may shatter on impact, causing sharp fragments to disperse
Power Tools Safety
Five Basic Rules with Power Tools
Keep all tools regularly maintained
Use the right tool for the job
Examine each tool for damage before use
Operate tools in accordance with the manufacturer
Provide and use the proper personal protective equipment
Precautions
Never place your finger on the start button while carrying a power tool.
Never try to alter a tool to complete a task it was not designed for perform.
Never remove a guard from a tool or machine.
Be sure the power tool you need to use has a functioning guard.
Properly tighten all nuts and bolts
Precautions, cont.Before You Plug it in, check for loose or frayed cords.
Only use double-insulated or three-pronged plugs.
Never carry a tool by the cord or hose
Never yank the cord to unplug it
Keep cords and hoses away form heat, oil, and sharp edges
Disconnect tools when not in use
Precautions, cont
Make sure observers at a safe distance
Secure work with a vise or clamp
Keep tools sharp and lubricated
Do not wear loose clothes, ties, jewelry, etc.
Mark or tag all damaged tools with “Do Not Use”
Personal Protective Equipment
Use proper gloves when applying any chemical
Wear the appropriate safety glasses/goggles when using hand tools
Use the proper respirator when working with power tools that may produce respiratory hazards
Spark shield and protection around flammables
Don’t use tools near aisle ways
Equipment & Machine Safety
Proper Tool Storage
When finished using a power tool, disconnect it immediately from its power source
Do not wrap the electric cord around the tool because it may cause the cord to wear or break
Working at Heights
Never work directly above someone.
Do not carry tools up ladders, instead use a hoist or rope to lift your tools.
Be aware of where your tools are at all times
Equipment & Machine Safety
Operate them within their design limitations
Gloves and footwear are recommended
When they are not in use, store them in a dry location
Do not use them in wet or damp location
Work areas should be well lighted
Machine Guard
Protective Guards
Guards are required for:
Pinch, shear, or in-roll points.
Shaft ends exposed more than ½ the diameter or have rough areas, such as gears, chains, pulleys, rope pulls and fan blades.
Electrical circuits.
General Guard Safety Requirement
Prevent body contact with dangerous moving parts Guards must be durable and firmly secured to the machine. Unplug the machine before attempting to conduct repairs. Never removed jammed objects by removing or working around the guard. Guards must protect objects from falling into moving parts. Guards must not create a hazard of its own, such as, shear points, jagged edges or any surface which could cause a laceration. Guards should not create interference or impede the worker from job performance. Properly maintain the machine according to manufacturer's instructions Always use proper lockout and tagout procedures
Guards Protect Against
Guards will provide protection for operators from the following hazards:
Point of operation
In-running nip points
Rotating parts
Flying chips and sparks
Power Grinders
Always use eye protection
Turn off power when it is not in use
Never clamp a hand-held grinder in a vise
ALL DONE!
