Fatality Make arrangements for collaboration and TPCs for each equipment involved in air
compression
 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.
