4.7.1 Safe Use of Hand Tools

With a vast number of hand tools that are likely to be used on a drill rig or during repair, the best rule of

thumb is to use a tool only in the manner for which it was intended. Keep cutting tools sharp. If an accident

occurs, treat all cuts and scratches immediately with simple first aid measures to prevent infection, which

can occur in a matter of hours. Some other guidelines are:

Inspect tools prior to use

Use tools for their intended use only

Do not use damaged tools

Pull, do not push wrenches - verify there is a good grip

Never use excessive force on a tool. If excessive force is required, the wrong tool is being used.

Keep all tools clean and orderly stored when not being used.

− Do not leave tools on ladders or other overhead working spaces.

− Do not leave tools on the ground.

Never throw or drop tools. Use hoists or hand lines to raise or lower tools.

Always use non-sparking tools in areas of potentially explosive materials or atmosphere.

Hand Tools

As many different types of hand tools may be used on or around a drill rig and in repair shops, there are an

equal number of instructions for proper use. Use the tool for its intended purpose - is the most important

rule.

The following suggestions apply to safe use of several hand tools that frequently are used on and around

drill rigs:

• When a tool becomes damaged, either repair it before using it again or get rid of it.

• Do not use tools with split or defective handles or worn parts. If a tool becomes damaged, repair it

before using it again or replace it.

• When using a hammer, any kind of hammer for any purpose, wear safety glasses and require all others

around you to wear safety glasses.

• When using any kind of chisel or punch, for any purpose, wear safety glasses and require all others

around you to wear safety glasses.

• Keep all tools cleaned and stored appropriately when not in use
