drive ends are not excessively
worn which may allow the socket
to come off during rotation.
• Use only impact sockets and
accessories in good condition, as
poor condition or hand (chrome)
sockets or accessories can
shatter and become a projectile
when used with power tools.
Dust and Fume Hazards
• Wear appropriate respiratory
protection if dust or fumes are
present in the work area.
• Dust and fumes generated
when using power tools, and
existing dust disturbed by their
use can cause ill health (for
example, cancer, birth defects,
asthma and/or dermatitis,). Risk
assessment and implementation
of appropriate controls for these
hazards are essential. The priority
shall be to control them at the
source.
• Direct the exhaust so as to
minimize disturbance of dust in a
dust-filled environment.
• All integral features or
accessories for the collection,
extraction or suppression of
airborne dust or fumes should be
correctly used and maintained
in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Prevent exposure and inhalation
of harmful dust and particles
created by power tool use.
• Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling
and other construction activities
contain chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects, or
other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks
and cement and other
masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from
chemically treated lumber
• Your risk from these exposures
varies, depending on how often
you do this type of work.
• To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area and work with
approved safety equipment
such as dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
Entanglement Hazards
• Entanglement of loose clothing,
personal jewelry, neckwear, hair,
gloves or other items can occur if
not kept away from the working
end of the tool. Entanglement
can result in choking, scalping,
lacerations, broken bones and/or
severed extremities.
