Safety Precautions – Compressed Air
The following precautions pertain to the use of compressed air devices:
All pipes, hoses, and fittings must have a rating of the maximum pressure
of the compressor. Compressed air pipelines should be identified (psi) as
to maximum working pressure.
Air supply shutoff valves should be located (as near as possible) at the
point-of-operation.
Air hoses should be kept free of grease and oil to reduce the possibility of
deterioration.
Hoses should not be strung across floors or aisles where they are liable to
cause personnel to trip and fall. When possible, air supply hoses should
be suspended overhead, or otherwise located to afford efficient access
and protection against damage.
Hose ends must be secured to prevent whipping if an accidental cut or
break occurs.
Pneumatic impact tools, such as riveting guns, should never be pointed at
a person.
Before a pneumatic tool is disconnected (unless it has quick disconnect
plugs), the air supply must be turned off at the control valve and the tool
bled.
Compressed air must not be used under any circumstances to clean dirt
and dust from clothing or off a person’s skin. Shop air used for cleaning
