HAND TOOLS
The wide variety of hand tools available on the market today allow us to
perform more tasks more efficiently. However, if used improperly, hand tools
can cause injury. Approximately 8 percent of industrial incidents result from
the improper use of hand tools. Injuries range from simple cuts, contusions and
abrasions to amputations, fractures and punctures. Use PPE and follow proper
work practices in order to operate hand tools safely.
Safe Work Practices & Safety Tips:
Wear appropriate PPE for the tools and type of job you are performing. Also,
pay attention to the work of others around you when selected appropriate
PPE.
Before using a tool, inspect it. If the tool is not in good working condition, tag
and remove it from service to be repaired or replaced.
Use tools designed for the job you are performing. Use the tools as they were
intended and your tools will last longer and you will be at less risk of injury.
Carry tools properly. Tools should be carried in a toolbox or tool belt. When
walking with tools, the points or cutting edges should be held away from the
body.
Direct sharp edged tools away from you as your work. This way if the tool was
to slip you will not cut or stab yourself or a fellow employee.
Put all tools away when you are done using them. Clean the tool thoroughly
and return it to its proper place. This reduces tool loss and prevents its from
becoming a trip hazard for you or your co-workers.
Make sure the area around you is clear and that no one is standing behind you.
Use the right tool for the specific job. Misuse and improper maintenance are
a few of the greatest hazards posed by hand tools.
Ensure workers have proper training before using a particular tool for the first
time.
Never strike a screwdriver with a hammer. Never use a wrench as a hammer

3. The importance of OHS worldwide in terms of lives lost and economic costs from work-related injuries and illnesses each year.
4. Specific workplace hazards are explored in more depth like machines, confined spaces, temperature extremes, and electricity. Control strategies for mitigating risks are also addressed.
Laying down the Law: Understanding the Legislation Surrounding Lone and Mobil...ManxTelecom
While there is no specific legislation for mobile or lone workers, employers have a legal responsibility under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 to protect employees from risks. This includes conducting risk assessments and providing training, supervision, communication tools and a safe system of work for remote employees. Failure to take proper precautions to safeguard mobile workers could result in penalties such as fines, compensation payouts and prosecution for corporate manslaughter. Reliable communication technology is crucial for mobile worker safety given patchy mobile coverage in some areas.

This document provides a national standard for construction work in Australia to protect workers from hazards. It defines construction work and sets responsibilities for clients, designers, supervisors, and workers. It requires identifying risks, controlling hazards, providing safety information and training, and following general safety provisions. The standard aims to bring national uniformity while not replacing existing state and territory laws. It applies to all construction projects and workers, except for homeowners doing their own home construction work.
The document discusses safe working practices in the construction industry. It covers UK health and safety laws like HASAWA, COSHH, CDM Regulations, and RIDDOR which aim to protect workers' health and safety. Employers have duties around risk assessments, personal protective equipment, and reporting accidents. Common construction accidents involve falls, electrocution, injuries from tools or debris. Signs are used to warn of hazards and mandatory safety procedures. Workers must follow conduct rules, use tools safely, and respond appropriately to hazardous situations.
