CARE OF HAND TOOLS Tools are expensive; tools are vital equipment. When the need for their use arises, common sense plus a little preventive maintenance prolongs their usefulness. The following precautions for the care of tools should be observed: Clean tools after each use. Oily, dirty, and greasy tools are slippery and dangerous to use. NEVER hammer with a wrench. NEVER leave tools scattered about. When they are not in use, stow them neatly on racks or in toolboxes. Apply a light film of oil after cleaning to prevent rust on tools. INVENTORY tools after use to prevent loss. PERSONAL SAFETY EQUIPMENT To protect you from danger, protective equipment such as safety shoes, goggles, hard hats, and gloves are issued. The use of this equipment is mandatory on certain jobs. Their use is a MUST, and there is no question about that. Be sure to USE THEM on any job WHERE they are REQUIRED. They can protect you from a lot of harm. SAFETY SHOES Some safety shoes are designed to limit damage to your toes from falling objects. A steel plate is placed in the toe area of such shoes so that your toes are not crushed if an object impacts there. Other safety shoes are designed for use where danger from sparking could cause an explosion. Such danger is minimized by elimination of all metallic nails and eyelets and by the use of soles that do not cause static electricity. GOGGLES Proper eye protection is of the utmost importance for all personnel. Eye protection is necessary because of hazards posed by infrared and ultraviolet radiation, or by flying objects such as sparks, globules of molten metal, or chipped concrete and wood. These hazards are everpresent during welding, cutting, soldering, chipping, grinding, and a variety of other operations. It is IMPERATIVE for you to use eye protection devices, such as helmets, face shields, and goggles (fig. 1-59), during eye-hazard operations. Figure 1-59.-Eye-protection devices. 1-35
