Powder-Actuated Tools — Is Your Workplace Safe?

Are employees who operate powder-actuated tools trained in their use and carry a valid operator's card?

Is each powder-actuated tool stored in its own locked container when not being used?

Is a sign at least 7 inches by 10 inches with bold face type reading "POWDER-ACTUATED TOOL IN USE" conspicuously posted when the tool is being used?

Are powder-actuated tools left unloaded until they are actually ready to be used?

Are powder-actuated tools inspected for obstructions or defects each day before use?

Do powder-actuated tool operators have and use appropriate personal protective equipment such as hard hats, safety goggles, safety shoes and ear protectors?
