Common sense of hand tools carrying safety essentials
1. Safety essentials for carrying hand tools
(1) When carrying hand tools, they should be placed in special straps or in tool bags and tool buckets, not in the pockets of clothes and trousers, let alone on the belt.
(2) For tools that are not used temporarily, the storage location should be appropriate, and the placement should be stable, so that it is not easy to fall off and hurt people. Do not put them on scaffolding, overhead pipes and moving parts of machinery.
(3) The tools should be handed over between operators, not thrown; when passing tools with sharp edges, the handle should be directed towards the person receiving the tool.
(4) For tools such as crowbars that need to be carried on the shoulder, pay attention to the front, back, left and right when carrying them, so that they do not collide with other objects and personnel, and must be stable when putting them down.
(5) When carrying a portable power tool with a cord, pay attention to protect the cord and keep it away from sharp objects, heat sources, oils or solvents, so as not to damage the cord.
2. Safety precautions for the handle of hand tools
(1) The handle of the tool hit by the hammer is prone to local fragmentation after being hit for a long time. For this reason, a metal hoop (bronze ring) should be installed at the end of the handle such as a chisel, a punch, and a rock drill.
(2) For hand tools requiring wooden handles, the wooden handles should be made of tough hardwoods (such as oak, elm, walnut, locust, maple, etc.). The wooden handle should have a smooth surface and be free of knots, splits and other defects.
(3) The connection between the wooden handle and the hammer and the axe must be firm and firm to prevent the wooden handle from breaking or the hammer flying out during use. If the handle is found to be loose during use, it must be wedged immediately; do not rely solely on wedges Fastening, it is more important that the wooden handle fits well with the equipment hole.
(4) In order to prevent the wooden handle from spinning and slipping in the hand, the wooden handle should be made into an oval shape.
