To make sure tools remain in good condition, follow these guidelines when replacing and storing tools:
- Keep other employees away from the work when using saw blades, knives, or other tools.
- Keep tools away from aisle areas and away from other employees.
- Knives and scissors must be sharp.
- Remove cracked saw blades from service.
- Replace wrenches when jaws are sprung to the point that slippage occurs.
- Replace tools with mushroomed heads, such as impact tools such as drift pins, wedges, and chisels.
- Replace all tools with splintered wooden handles.
- Do not store metal/alloy hand tools that may produce sparks where flammable gases, highly volatile liquids, and other explosive substances are stored.
