Activity 2
Personal Protective Equipment
1.
Power tools
present more hazards than hand tools due to the speed at which they operate.
There are distinct differences between the PPE suggested for use with hand
tools and the PPE recommended for safe power tool use.
2. Eye protection, such as safety glasses or goggles, is especially important when using
power tools. The speed in which drills, saws, grinders, sanders and routers
operate can propel small particles much faster and farther than do hand tools.
Others working around the area where power tools are used should also wear
protective eyewear. Certain power
tools may require using a face shield, in addition to safety glasses or
goggles. For example, a face shield is recommended while using a grinder, due
to the amount of hot metal particles generated.
3.
Standard cotton
or leather work gloves can protect your hands from minor scrapes and cuts while
working with various materials. Cut-resistant gloves are not designed for, or
capable of providing protection against a moving blade or bit. The best way to
prevent injury from moving parts is to keep your hands on the tools' handles
and keep all guards in place. Anti-vibration gloves minimize the vibration
created by hammerdrills and rotary hammerdrills.
4.
Safety footwear
is recommended when using power tools. Power tools are heavy and can cut you.
Safety shoes with a nonslip, insulated sole and a steel toe protect against
dropped objects and misdirected electricity.
5.
The higher
sound levels generated by some power tools, especially if used over extended
periods of time, may require the use of earplugs or earmuffs. Even the use of a dust respirator may be necessary in
sanding and cutting operations. Each situation must be analyzed to determine
the type of PPE that is required for the safe use of each type of power tool.
6.
Along with PPE,
proper attire is also important while
using power tools. Tie back or cover long hair, wear loose fitting clothes and
remove all jewelry to avoid being caught in moving blades.
7.
Proper Work Practices
8.
Portable power
tools are designed for a wide variety of uses. Circular saws, jig saws, drills,hammer drills, sanders, grinders, routers and numerous other power tools save us time and effort on the
job. The growing popularity of cordless battery-operated tools is putting power tools to use in more places than ever before,
heightening the need for awareness of the dangers they present if not operated
properly. The following safety rules are common to all power tools. In
addition, each type of tool has its own unique hazards, which must be taken
into account.
Questions
a.
What does PPE
stand for? : Recommendations for safe use of the machine
b.
What is the
main difference between power tools and hand tools (paragraph 1)? :
Power tools pose more risk than hand tools due to
the speed at which they operate.
c. What are “safety glasses or goggles” examples of? : Eye protection
power tools are used. For example, a protective mask is recommended when using
a grinder, because the amount of generated hot metal particles.
d. What is the biggest problem when
operating a power tool? Paragraph 2 : generated amount of hot metal particles.
e. Is a face shield a power tool? What
is it? : face shield
f. Why is it advisable to wear a “a face shield” to protect the face from cuts and burns
g. According to paragraph 3. Is it
possible to protect your hands from grinders with gloves? : Yes
h. Why? : As they are cut resistant
gloves are not designed for or capable of providing protection against a blade
or little motion.
i. How can you protect your hand from injures?
: The best way to avoid injury from moving parts is to keep your hands on
the handles of tools' and have all shields in place
j. What do anti-vibration gloves do? : minimize
vibration created by hammer drills rotary hammer drills.
k. Why can power tools cut you? : Power
tools are heavy and may cut
l. How can you prevent foot injuries? :
work boots
m. What characteristics should your
working boots have? : Safety shoes with non-slip, only isolated and
steel toe protection against falling objects and misdirected power.
n. Why should tools operators wear
earplugs in the working area? : because higher sound levels generated by
some power tools
o. What does a “dust respirator” help workers for? : a dust may be
necessary in grinding and cutting operations
