PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
1. Always wear impact safety goggles that provide front and side
protection for the eyes. Eye protection equipment should comply
with CSA Z94.3-07 or ANSI Z87.1 standards based on the type of
work performed.
2. Wear the appropriate type of full-face shield in addition to safety
googles, as the work can create molten, acid or chemical splashes.
3. Wear gloves that provide protection based on the work materials or
to reduce the effects of tool vibration.
4. Wear protective clothing designed for the work environment and
tool.
4.1 Wear a leather apron or jacket, leather welding gloves and full
foot protection. Choose clothing fabrics that resist sparks,
heat, flames and splashes of molten material. Artificial fabrics
may burn and melt, resulting in a more severe injury.
4.2 Do not wear clothes or protective gear that are frayed, oily or
greasy as they may ignite from the heat.
4.3 Do not wear clothing that can hold hot debris or sparks such
as pant cuffs, shirt pockets or boots. Choose clothing that has
flaps over pockets or wear clothing to cover the openings such
as pant legs over the boots or an apron over the shirt.
5. Non-skid footwear is recommended to maintain footing and
balance in the work environment.
6. Wear steel toe footwear or steel toe caps to prevent a foot injury
from falling objects.
7. Wear a NIOSH approved respirator when working on materials that
produce hazardous fumes, dust or particulate matter.
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

personal injury or damage to the tool.
1. Do not operate any tool when tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medications.

the moving parts of a tool. Keep long hair covered or bound.
