Personal Protective Equipment

Power tools present more hazards than hand tools due to the speed at which they operate. There are distinct differences
between the PPE suggested for use with hand tools and the PPE recommended for safe power tool use.
Eye protection, such as safety glasses or goggles, is especially important when using power tools. The speed in which drills,
saws, grinders, sanders and routers operate can propel small particles much faster and farther than do hand tools. Others
working around the area where power tools are used should also wear protective eyewear. Certain power tools may require
using a face shield, in addition to safety glasses or goggles. For example, a face shield is recommended while using a grinder,
due to the amount of hot metal particles generated.
Standard cotton or leather work gloves can protect your hands from minor scrapes and cuts while working with various
materials. Cut-resistant gloves are not designed for, or capable of providing protection against a moving blade or bit. The best
way to prevent injury from moving parts is to keep your hands on the tools' handles and keep all guards in place. Anti-vibration
gloves minimize the vibration created by hammerdrills and rotary hammerdrills.
Safety footwear is recommended when using power tools. Power tools are heavy and can cut you. Safety shoes with a
nonslip, insulated sole and a steel toe protect against dropped objects and misdirected electricity.
The higher sound levels generated by some power tools, especially if used over extended periods of time, may require the use
of earplugs or earmuffs. Even the use of a dust respirator may be necessary in sanding and cutting operations. Each
situation must be analyzed to determine the type of PPE that is required for the safe use of each type of power tool.
Along with PPE, proper attire is also important while using power tools. Tie back or cover long hair, wear loose fitting clothes
and remove all jewelry to avoid being caught in moving blades.
Proper Work Practices
Portable power tools are designed for a wide variety of uses. Circular saws, jig saws, drills,hammer drills, sanders,
grinders, routers and numerous other power tools save us time and effort on the job. The growing popularity of cordless
battery-operated tools is putting power tools to use in more places than ever before, heightening the need for awareness of
the dangers they present if not operated properly. The following safety rules are common to all power tools. In addition, each
type of tool has its own unique hazards, which must be taken into account.

Herramientas elctricas porttiles

Equipo de proteccin personal
1) Las herramientas elctricas presentan ms riesgos que las herramientas manuales debido
a la velocidad a q ellas operan. Hay distintas diferencias entre el PPE sugerido para
herramientas manuales y el PPE sugerido para las herramientas elctricas
2) la proteccin visual tales como las mono-gafas y las gafas de seguridad es especialmente
importante cuando utilizamos las herramientas elctricas. La velocidad en el q el taladro
sierra, pulidoras, lijadoras y fresadores operan pueden omitir pequeas partculas ms
rpido y ms lejos q las herramientas manuales. Otros trabajando del rea donde las
herramientas elctricas son usadas deberan tambin usar proteccin ocular. Ciertas
herramientas elctricas ciertas herramientas elctricas pueden requerir el uso de una
careta en adicin de unas gafas de seguridad por ejemplo una careta es recomendad
mientras usamos una pulidora debido a la cantidad de partculas metlicas calientes
generadas.

3) Los guantes laborales de cuero o de algodn promedio pueden proteger sus manos de
cortaduras o rasguos menores mientras se trabaja con materiales. Los Guantes
resistentes a cortaduras no estn diseados para o capaces de proporcionar proteccin
contra una cuchilla en movimiento o una broca .
La mejor manera de prevenir lesiones de las partes mviles es mantener sus manos en los
mangos de las herramientas y tener todas las protecciones en su lugar. los Guantes anti
vibracin reducen al mnimo la vibracin creada por los diferentes taladros y roto taladros.
4) El calzado de seguridad se recomienda al usar herramientas elctricas. Las herramientas
elctricas son pesados y pueden cortarlo. Zapatos de seguridad con una suela aislante y
antideslizante y con punta de acero protegen contra objetos cados y electricidad mas
dirigida
5) Los niveles de sonido superiores generados por algunas herramientas elctricas,
especialmente si se utiliza durante perodos prolongados de tiempo, pueden requerir el
uso de tapones para los odos u orejeras. Incluso el uso de un respirador para polvo puede
ser necesario en el lijado y operaciones de corte. Cada situacin debe ser analizada para
determinar el tipo de PPE que se requiere para el uso seguro de cada tipo de herramienta
elctrica.
6) Junto con el PPE, atuendo adecuado tambin es importante durante el uso de
herramientas elctricas. Ate espalda o cubrir el pelo largo, usar ropa holgada y quitarse

Sierras circulares, sierras de calar, taladros, martillos perforadores, lijadoras, amoladoras,
Reuters y otras numerosas herramientas elctricas nos ahorran tiempo y esfuerzo en el
trabajo. La creciente popularidad de las herramientas que funcionan con bateras
inalmbricos est poniendo las herramientas elctricas a utilizar en ms lugares que
nunca antes, lo que aumenta la necesidad de conciencia de los peligros que presentan si
no se utiliza correctamente. Las siguientes reglas de seguridad son comunes a todas las
herramientas elctricas. Adems, cada tipo de herramienta tiene sus propios riesgos
