Employees completing this training will be able to: Identify compressed air safety hazards Use control measures minimize risks Identify required Personal Protective Equipment Hazards of Using Compressed AirOne of the biggest concerns with compressed air is that many employees do not think of it as hazardous. IT CAN BE if used incorrectly! There are generally four types of hazards :1、Compressed air penetrating the skin can cause hemorrhaging and pain. 2、High pressured air entering the body through cuts in the skin could form bubbles in the bloodstream. These bubbles can cause an “Air Embolism” which can be serious, even fatal if a bubble reaches the lungs or the heart. 高压的气体从伤口进入身体可以使血液产生气泡,这将很严重,甚至损伤肺和心脏 3、Compressed air blown into the ear can rupture an eardrum. 4、Compressed air blown into the eye can blow an eye out of its socket. 5、Additionally, high pressured air blown into the mouth or nose can cause damage to tissues or internal organs. Flying particles can cause cuts and bruises. 飞起的碎粒可能会割伤或擦伤人体Chips and other particles could become projectiles 长形条状和其它的颗粒会飞射出去,对个人和其它人造成伤割 Dust and other airborne particles can enter the eyes Noise levels can reach 120 decibels There is a whipping potential if air hose becomes disconnected at hose coupling. A whipping hose can cause serious injuries.软管没有固定好时或使用时脱手,乱飞的管子会给我们造成伤害 Pressure backlash can occur if air is not shut off before attempting to disconnect air hose from air line 在拆除空气管路时,如果忘记关掉气源,后冲的压力会造成伤害 Additional Physical HazardAn air hose on the floor presents a tripping hazard. Self-storing, recoiling air hoses that can be suspended above workstations are recommended. A short chain attached to the hose and to the tool's housing will keep it from whipping about if it should accidentally become disconnected. Also, protect the hose from sharp objects. Compressed Air Safety RulesOnly trained employees may use compressed airCompressed air must only be used for it’s intended purposeNever use compressed air to:Clean off clothing or work areas.(Use other cleaning methods instead such as vacuuming or sweeping) Warn others in the immediate area that you will be using compressed airNever point an air gun at another personAlways shut off the air before attempting to disconnect the air hose from the lineChock the wheels of portable air compressors to prevent the equipment from moving在使用便携式空压机时,为了防止设备滑动要锁好轮子.The air pressure must be turned off and the line pressure released before disconnecting the hose or changing pneumatic tools.Required Personal Protective EquipmentAlways wear safety glasses, face shields or goggles as appropriate when using compressed air Hearing protection must also be worn when operating an air compressor Compressed Air Control MeasuresIf compressed air must be used for cleaning (such as blowing out chips from a machine), it must be regulated to lower than 30 psi or equipped with diffuser nozzles to provide less pressure 如果压缩空气用于清扫时,必须保证压力低于30磅/平方英寸或者使用扩散式喷嘴用来减小压力 Guns shall have pressure relief valves fitted at all stations Guns should have safety relief nozzles/tips
气枪应装有安全喷嘴
