even if there is no sign of damage
Test for loss of brittleness – Replace anyway after 5 years
(EU)
Helmets should not be cleaned with solvents – use lukewarm
water.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Most Important Points!!! Always remember!!!
¾ PPE’s to be used when risks cannot be avoided/reduced to
acceptable level, by SWP
¾ PPE does not remove the hazard. It will protect only the
person wearing it, not others
¾ Sometimes PPE may in itself cause a hazard e.g. reduced

field of vision, loss of dexterity or agility etc
¾ All PPE is to be regularly checked & serviced, records

maintained

LIFTING EQUIPMENT
¾ Ensure wire ropes used are in good condition

with test certificate and treated with suitable
lubricants.
¾ Always take of the load safely, if lifting
equipment jammed, do not work with load
hanging.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
¾ No flammable materials to be stored near

switchboards
¾ Battery rooms to ventilate properly, as hydrogen &
oxygen is given off during charging. Battery rooms to
clearly mark “No open flame, No naked lights”
¾ Portable electric lamps/tools giving out sparks not to
be used at all.
¾ Insulation and guarding of cables to be in good
condition.
¾All extension cables, hand lamps to be inspected and to
ensure insulation not damaged.

BSM MTCAL


ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
Some of the portable equipment may not be for
continuous use, check the temperature of the machine. If
it is overheated give rest to the machine and use other
machine, if required. If a machine is overheated,
insulation may drop all of a sudden.

¾Use guard for the portable tools where applicable.
¾Defective equipments/tools shall not be used by any
crew member until they are repaired and fit for use.
¾Any defect on the tool shall be brought to the
knowledge of C/E or E/O with immediate effect.

Portable hand & power tools

BSM MTCAL

Portable hand & power tools
¾ Do not issue or permit the use of unsafe hand

tools.
¾ Wrenches, pipe and socket wrenches shall not
be used when jaws are sprung to the point that
slippage occurs.
¾ Impact tools, such as drift pins, wedges, and
chisels, shall be kept free of mushroomed heads.
¾ The wooden handles of tools shall be kept free
of splinters
BSM MTCAL

Portable hand & power tools
General Safety Precautions
¾ Appropriate personal protective equipment should be
worn due to hazards that may be encountered while
using portable power tools and hand tools.

¾
¾Floors should be kept as clean and dry as possible to

prevent accidental slips with or around dangerous hand
tools.
BSM MTCAL


Portable hand & power tools

General Safety Precautions
¾ Hand tools are non-powered. They include anything

from axes to wrenches. The greatest hazards posed by
hand tools result from misuse and improper maintenance.

BSM MTCAL

Portable hand & power tools
General Safety Precautions
The following general precautions should be
observed by power tool users:
¾ Never carry a tool by the cord or hose.
¾ Never yank the cord or the hose to disconnect
it from the receptacle.
¾ Keep cords and hoses away from heat, oil, and
sharp edges.
¾ Disconnect tools when not in use, before
servicing, and when changing accessories.
BSM MTCAL


Portable hand & power tools
General Safety Precautions power tools
¾Secure work with clamps or a vise, freeing both hands
to operate the tool.
¾Avoid accidental starting. Person should not hold a
finger on the switch button while carrying a plugged-in
tool.
¾ The proper apparel should be worn.

¾All portable electric tools that are damaged shall be
removed from use and tagged
"Do Not Use."
BSM MTCAL

Portable hand & power tools
Power tool attachments
¾ A variety of accessories are available for use on or

with power tools.
¾ Caution must be exercised when selecting and using
any accessory with any power tool.
¾ Choosing the wrong accessory or using an accessory
incorrectly can result in serious
¾ Powered abrasive grinding, cutting, polishing, and wire
buffing wheels create special safety problems because
they may throw off flying fragments.
BSM MTCAL


Portable hand & power tools
Power tool attachments
¾ Before an abrasive wheel is mounted, it should
be inspected closely and sound- or ring-tested to
be sure that it is free from cracks or defects.
¾ To test, wheels should be tapped gently with a
light non-metallic instrument. If they sound
cracked or dead, they could fly apart in operation
and so must not be used. A sound and undamaged
wheel will give a clear metallic tone or "ring."

BSM MTCAL

Powered abrasive tools
¾ To prevent the wheel from cracking, the user should be

sure it fits freely on the spindle.
¾ The spindle nut must be tightened enough to hold the
wheel in place, without distorting the flange.
¾ Follow the manufacturer's recommendations. Care
must be taken to assure that the spindle wheel will not
exceed the abrasive wheel specifications.
¾ Due to the possibility of a wheel disintegrating
(exploding) during start-up, the employee should never
stand directly in front of the wheel as it accelerates to full
operating speed.

BSM MTCAL


Powered abrasive tools
¾ Portable grinding tools need to be equipped

with safety guards to protect personnel not only
from the moving wheel surface, but also from
flying fragments in case of breakage.
¾ In addition, when using a powered grinder
z Always use eye protection.
z Turn off the power when not in use.
z Never clamp a hand-held grinder in a

vise.

Powered abrasive tools
Failure to Ring Test
• Failure to ring test
could result in a
disintegrating wheel.
• This could lead to
serious injury or
death.
