Hand Protection
It is advisable to use a protective cream before work
to prevent irritation and skin contamination. After
work clean your hands with soap and water. Solvents
such as mineral spirit and kerosene may harm the
skin.
Foot Protection
Substantial or protective foot wear with reinforced
toe caps will protect your feet from falling objects.
Additionally, oil-resistant soles will help to avoid
slipping.
Special Clothing
For certain work it may be necessary to wear flame
or acid-resistant clothing.
EQUIPMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Machine Guards
Before using any machine, check to ensure that the
machine guards are in position and serviceable.
These guards not only prevent parts of the body or
clothing coming in contact with the moving parts of
the machine, but also ward off objects that might fly
off the machine and cause injury.
Lifting Devices
Always ensure that lifting equipment, such as chains,
slings, lifting brackets, hooks and eyes, are
thoroughly checked before use. If in doubt, select
stronger equipment than is necessary.
Never stand under a suspended load or raised
implement.

Compressed Air
The pressure from a compressed-air line often
exceeds 100 PSI (690 kPa). It is perfectly safe if used
correctly. Any misuse may cause injury.
Never use compressed air to blow dust, filing, and dirt
away from your work area unless the correct type of
nozzle is fitted.
Compressed air is not a cleaning agent; it will only
move dust from one place to another. Look around
before using an air hose as bystanders may get grit
into their eyes, ears, or skin.
Hand Tools
Many cuts, abrasions and injuries are caused by
defective tools. Never use the wrong tool for the job,
as this generally leads either to some injury or to a
poor job.
When removing or replacing hardened pins, use a
copper or brass drift rather than a hammer.
For dismantling, overhaul, and assembly of major
and sub-components, always use the Special
Service Tools recommended. These will reduce the
work effort, labor time, and the repair cost.
Electricity
Electricity has become so familiar in day to day
usage, that its potentially dangerous properties are
often overlooked. Misuse of electrical equipment can
endanger life.
Before using any electrical equipment particularly
portable appliances - make a visual check to make
sure that the wiring is not worn or frayed and that the
plugs and sockets are intact. Make sure you know
where the nearest isolating switch for your
equipment is located.
