Hand and Power Tools

Abstract

This booklet is designed to present to employees and employers a summary of the basic safety procedures and safeguards associated with hand and portable power tools. Material in this booklet is based on the standards of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration; this booklet, however, should not be considered as a substitute for the full safety and health standards for general industry (published in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 29, Part 1910, Subpart P), or for the construction industry (published in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 29, Part 1926, Subpart I). These are also available on the World Wide Web at http://www.osha.gov. Employers and employees in the 25 states and/or territories with OSHA-approved state safety and health plans should check with their state agency. Their state may be enforcing standards and other procedures that, while at least as effective as federal standards, are not always identical to the federal requirements.
