Personal Protective Equipment

Power tools present more hazards than hand tools due to the speed at which they operate. There are
distinct differences between the PPE suggested for use with hand tools and the PPE recommended
for safe power tool use.
Eye protection, such as safety glasses or goggles, is especially important when using power tools.
The speed in which drills, saws, grinders, sanders and routers operate can propel small particles
much faster and farther than do hand tools. Others working around the area where power tools are
used should also wear protective eyewear. Certain power tools may require using a face shield, in
addition to safety glasses or goggles. For example, a face shield is recommended while using a
grinder, due to the amount of hot metal particles generated.
Standard cotton or leather work gloves can protect your hands from minor scrapes and cuts while
working with various materials. Cut-resistant gloves are not designed for, or capable of providing
protection against a moving blade or bit. The best way to prevent injury from moving parts is to keep
your hands on the tools' handles and keep all guards in place. Anti-vibration gloves minimize the
vibration created by hammerdrills and rotary hammerdrills.
Safety footwear is recommended when using power tools. Power tools are heavy and can cut you.
Safety shoes with a nonslip, insulated sole and a steel toe protect against dropped objects and
misdirected electricity.
The higher sound levels generated by some power tools, especially if used over extended periods of
time, may require the use of earplugs or earmuffs. Even the use of a dust respirator may be
necessary in sanding and cutting operations. Each situation must be analyzed to determine the type
of PPE that is required for the safe use of each type of power tool.
Along with PPE, proper attire is also important while using power tools. Tie back or cover long hair,
wear loose fitting clothes and remove all jewelry to avoid being caught in moving blades.
Proper Work Practices
Portable power tools are designed for a wide variety of uses. Circular saws, jig
saws, drills,hammer drills, sanders, grinders, routers and numerous other power tools save us
time and effort on the job. The growing popularity of cordless battery-operated tools is putting
power tools to use in more places than ever before, heightening the need for awareness of the
dangers they present if not operated properly. The following safety rules are common to all power
tools. In addition, each type of tool has its own unique hazards, which must be taken into account.

HERRAMIENTAS ELECTRICAS PRTATILES

EQUIPOS DE PROTECCION PERSONAL

1. las herramientas elctricas presentan ms riesgos que las

herramientas manuales debido a la velocidad a la que ellas
operan. Hay distintas diferencias entre el PPE sugerido para las
herramientas manuales y el PPE y para el seguro uso de las
herramientas elctricas
2. la proteccin visual tales como las mono gafas y las gafas de
seguridad, es especialmente importante cuando se usan las
herramientas elctricas, la velocidad en que los taladros,
pulidoras, fresadoras, sierras operan pueden producir pequeas
partculas ms rpido y ms lejos que las herramientas manuales
otros trabajando alrededor del rea donde las herramientas
elctricas son usadas, deberan tambin usar proteccin visual.
ciertas herramientas elctricas pueden pueden requerir una
carreta en adicin de las mono gafas ,por ejemplo una carreta es
necesaria cuando utilizamos una pulidora .debido a la cantidad de
partculas metlicas calientes generadas
3. los guantes laborales de cuero o algodn promedio pueden
proteger sus manos de rasguos menores y cortaduras mientras
se trabaja con materiales. los guantes resistentes a cortaduras no
estn diseados para o capaces de proporcionar proteccin contra
una cuchilla en movimiento o una broca. la mejor manera de
prevenir lesiones de partes en movimientos es mantener sus
manos sobre los mangos de las herramientas y todas las
protecciones en su lugar .los guantes anti vibracin minimizan la
vibracin creada por los diferentes taladros y roto taladros
4. el calzado de seguridad se recomienda para el uso de
herramientas elctricas son pesadas y pueden cortar botas de
seguridad , botas de seguridad con una suela aislante y
antideslizante y punta de acero protegen contra objetos cados y
electricidad mal dirigida
