3 Power Tool Safety Reminders

Use these reminders to ensure your workplace is safe and follows mandatory requirements.

Start with a Safe Work Area

Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, near flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks, which may ignite such dust or fumes.

Do the Job Safely

Keep guards in place and functioning properly. If a method of dust collection is available with the power tool, it should be used to reduce the risk of dust-related hazards.

Electricity can be Dangerous

In damp locations, only plug your tool into a GFCI. If the work area does not have a permanent GFCI on the outlet, use a plug-in GFCI. Wear rubber gloves and footwear.
