Blasters will not work continuously for more than 40 minutes with minimum rest
of 10 minutes to prevent permanent injury throw vibration.
Identify hazardous machines, tools and processes, especially those which cause
tingling or numbness in the hands after a few minutes’ use
If possible, do the job another way without using high-vibration equipment, e.g
rotary hammers, powered pedestrian-controlled mowers, hand-fed forging
hammers etc
Ask about likely vibration levels for the way you use equipment before deciding
on which new tool or machine to buy or hire
Provide suitable tools designed to cut down vibration
Make sure people use the right tool for the job and are trained to use it correctly
Make sure machines (including tools) are maintained as recommended by the
manufacturer to prevent vibration increasing – check their sharpness, the
condition of abrasive wheels, and anti-vibration mounts etc where fitted
Check whether the job can be altered to reduce the grip or pressure needed

Proper disposal of waste as per law
Proper utilization of material
Items should be stored correctly with no parts protruding onto walkways.
Electrical cords should not be on the floor,
Tools should have designated areas
Storage and bins for waste should be readily available and be easy to empty
Structured programs that focus on organization, cleanliness and
Standardization can be introduced to the workplace to assist with this.
Cleanliness can be maintained
Housekeeping can be eliminated from the source e.g. leaks, etc.

Always check all hoses and nozzles before state job each day

Unauthorised entry should prohibited in high air pressure areas
Never point an air hose at anyone, including you, in fun or to remove dirt from
clothing or the body.
Never use compressed air for cleaning without adequate eye protection. Use
safety glasses with side shields or goggles.
If it is essential to use compressed air to clean dirt and chips from your work,
use
a proper nozzle on the end of the air hose to maintain air pressure at 30 pounds
per
square inch or less. Place a screen around the work area, or check to see that
other
workers are safely out of the range of flying particles.
Whenever possible, substitute brushes or vacuum systems for compressed air in
cleaning operations.
Before using compressed air, check the air hose for damage or signs of failure.
Make sure connections and couplings are tight. A loose air hose under 80 pounds
per square inch makes a dangerous bull whip!
Before attempting to disconnect a hose from an airline, the air should be cut off,
and the remaining air bled from the line.
Keep air hoses off the floor where they become tripping hazards and are subject to
damage by vehicles, doors, and dropped tools. If possible, suspend air hoses from
overhead.
Never use compressed air to transfer flammable liquids.
