Revised: 01/31/2023 2 <br />Job Steps Hazards Actions to Eliminate or Minimize Hazards RAC <br />2. Drill or Screw Material - Biological Hazards <br />- Bodily Injury-Struck by falling tool <br />- Bodily Injury/Struck-by <br />- Broken or Damaged Tool <br />- Burns <br />- Confined space <br />- Electrical equipment (transformers, switching <br />gear, breakers, high voltage lines) <br />- Eye Injuries <br />- Flying Debris <br />- Inadequate lighting <br />- Lacerations <br />- Line-of-Fire <br />- Repetitive motion or other ergonomic concerns <br />- Rotating equipment <br />- Slips/Trips/Falls <br />1. Watch out for flying insects such as bees, hornets and wasps. <br />2. Always wear eye protection while drilling and work far enough <br />away that debris will not fall onto you. Operate drill in accordance <br />with manufacturers instructions. Use the correct bits for the <br />materials being drilled. <br />3. Be aware of drill bits, screws points and screwdriver bit tips that <br />may be sharp. <br />4. Do not place any part of yourself in the line-of-fire while using the <br />drill. <br />5. If drilling continuously, stop and take periodic breaks to prevent <br />sprains and strains. Be aware of motor spin and potential for injury to <br />wrist mucles. Drills can jerk abruptly if bit gets stuck so drill slowly, <br />keep the bit straight and allow drill bit do the work. Clear drill flutes <br />of cuttings to prevent binding or kickback. <br />6. Visually scan the area for hazards, watch where you walk, keep <br />other tools, materials and equipment picked up and out of the way. <br />Follow all guidelines in COnfined Space Permit taking into account <br />the potential for igniting vapors. Perform monitoring for LEL and O2 <br />using a (4) gas meter if working in a confined space. <br />7. Work in a well lit area so you can see your work. Ensure LOTO has <br />been performed when working around any circuitry prior to drilling. <br />8. Do not wear loose fitting clothing or jewlery wihich could become <br />entangled in rotating drill chuck. Keep fingers clear of any <br />attachments being used with the drill motor (i.e. mixing paddles or <br />similar) <br />9. Do not place drill or other tools atop ladder or other elevated <br />sufaces where they could fall and strike someone below. <br />10. Use of broken or damaged tools is not permitted. If compromised, <br />remove from service immediately. <br />11. Be aware that use of cordless power drill will produce sparks <br />which may not be conducive to working in a confined space with an <br />oxygen enriched or flammable atmoshere. <br />12. Keep a firm grip on drill motor at all times during use. JSudden <br />jerking motion could result in being struck-by the tool itself. <br />13. Keep eyes protectd using form fitting safety glasses. <br />14. Do not drill or screw through objects without knowing what lies <br />on the other side. Use extreme caution around electrical panels, <br />conduits, wires or pipes that could be energized. The potential for <br />arcing, shock or electrucution should be taken seriously. Stop work if <br />there's any uncertanity. <br />15. Be aware of using the drill around paints, products or vapors that <br />could ignite. <br />M <br />NC-25-1137 Tiwana & Sons <br />1210 East Hammer Lane, Stockton, CA 95210
