Power Tool Safety
Hand and power tools enable employees to apply additional force and
energy to accomplish a task. These tools improve efficiency and make
better products. However, because of the increased force of hand and
power tools, the potential for injury increases.
The University has developed a power tool safety program to help prevent
such injuries from occurring when using hand and power tools. The program
contains a power tool inventory worksheet used to identify tools used
in the various shops throughout the University. The program also provides
for inspections of tools and the correction or replacement of unsafe
tools.
