Special care needs to be taken for the safe use of hand tools and related equipment. If you have any uncertainty about how to use a tool or piece of equipment, or are unsure whether it’s permitted, please check with the Set of Head Operations or a staff member in the Equipment Room. They will be able to advise you and provide additional training as needed.
Important Guidelines
Use the right tool for the job. Do not use tools or equipment for which you have not been properly trained and qualified.
Ensure that all equipment is in proper working order and that all protective guards are in place and used. Tag (“Do Not Use”) and report any damaged or malfunctioning equipment.
Do not attempt to alter, modify, displace, or remove any existing safety equipment. Saw guards, safety switches, and other safety mechanisms are installed for your protection.
Always wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and be aware of flying debris.
