Training on the safe use of ...

Workplace accidents and illnesses can be greatly reduced, or even eliminated, through informed planning and education. Working with saws can expose hazards such as kick-back of saw, push-back, pull-ins, and dust; training and proper work practices are the key to safety. A safe workplace can increase worker productivity and lower the cost of business operation.

Many workers have been near to an operating portable, abrasive saw or grinder without ever realizing their danger. Hand-held saws pose possible dangers if kick-back occurs because the operator can lose control and drop the saw immediately. So, hand-held should not be used over shoulder height or on ladders and stepstools. Saw push-back at a height could cause an operator to fall. If elevated cutting work is required, the saw should be mounted on guide tracks for the job. Personal safety can be endangered by several functions of this type of machinery - by the power source, blade, and wheel or from a disk failure or hazard from flying or airborne particles.

Before use, tools, cords and accessories should be inspected to insure safe operation. Operators should ascertain that supply pressure does not exceed the manufacturer's recommendations. Excessive pressure can rupture hoses, damage tools, and increase operating speed beyond safe limits.

Personal protective equipments for diamond and concrete brick saws varies depending on the job task, but may include safety hats, safety boots, and safety glasses, eye shields, and face shields, hearing protection, safety gloves, and respiratory protection from hazardous dusts.

Cutting Blades should be installed properly

Workers should use the right blade for the job. They should inspect it for the correct size, and speed and for defects before each use. Employees and supervisors must be trained on the health hazards. This training must be conducted at least annually. If overexposures to dust occur because dust reduction systems are not used or because such systems do not sufficiently control exposures, respirators or other control measures are required.
