Hand Tools Safety Tips

What are hand tools? Hand tools have no power source, other than the physical force applied by the user. Tools are such a common part of our lives – there isn’t a day that goes by without picking one up to help us in our work.

Hand tools include anything from: hammers screwdriver

wrenches side cutters

steel tapes sledge hammers

hand saws cat’s paws

chisels punches

pipe wrenches

Each tool is designed to do a specific job Each tool is designed to do a specific job. It’s up to you to use each tool properly. The employer is responsible for the safe condition of tools and equipment used by employees. Employees have the responsibility for properly using and maintaining tools.

Keep all tools in good condition with regular maintenance All hazards involved in the use of tools can be prevented by following five basic safety rules: Keep all tools in good condition with regular maintenance Injuries occur when a tool slips or breaks, often because the tool is dull. A sharp, well maintained tool will help you perform your job more effectively and in a shorter time. Keep all tools sharp, chisel points dressed, etc.

Use the right tool for the job Short cuts and using the wrong tool for the job will more likely result to an accident. One of the most frequent abuses of a hand tool is the misuse of the screwdriver. This hand tool is often used as a mini pry bar, a wood chisel, and any number of small tasks for which it simply was not designed to be used. A punctured wound can easily occur when any pointed hand tool is misused. ALWAYS USE THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE JOB AT HAND

Examine each tool for damage before use As the worker who uses the hand tool, you should think of your safety first. Check to be sure that the tool is in good shape before you use it. Replace broken tools and broken or cracked handles immediately. If you have any question about the condition of the tool, or how to use it properly, check with your supervisor.

Operate according to the manufacturer’s instructions Do not use the screwdriver as chisel. Wrenches must not be used if the jaws are sprung, cracked or twisted. Do not use a claw hammer to strike a hardened steel surface. Do not use chisels with a mushroom head. Keep control of the saw by releasing downward pressure at the end of each stroke, etc.

Provide and use the proper protective equipment Personal protective equipment is required if there’s any danger of: flying objects – wear safety goggles hand injuries – wear gloves Injuries can also occur when carrying tools. Never run with any tool in your hands Carry tools with pointed or sharp edges so that those edges are away from your body. Wear a tool belt or carry them in a toolbox – an excellent and safe way to transport tools. If you need to carry tools up a ladder, place them in a bucket and haul them up. Use the same method when going down the ladder.

While many workers are thought to be hand experts, they continue to have accidents on the job. Concentrate on how to improve your skills daily, share your knowledge with co-workers and remember… A good sharp tool in the hands of a good sharp worker will do an outstanding job!

This happens on a daily basis. Yes, its just a picture, but what if it was YOUR hand? Could you work again? What could you do? THINK – THINK –THINK

Safety is the best tool on the Job
