AECOM • Confirm that the wrench is in full contact(fully seated, "flat", not tilted)with the nut or bolt before applying pressure. o Place the body in the proper position for optimal balance and bracing to prevent falls if the tool slips. o Make sure hands and fingers have sufficient clearance in the event the tool slips. o Whenever possible, pull on a wrench and avoid pushing. • When working with tools overhead, place tools in a holding receptacle when not in use. • Do not throw tools from place to place or from person to person, or drop tools from heights. • Inspect all tools prior to start-up or use to identify any defects. • Powered hand tools shall not be capable of being locked in the ON position. • Require that all power-fastening devices be equipped with a safety interlock capable of activation only when in contact with the work surface. • Do not allow loose clothing, long hair, loose jewelry, rings, and chains to be worn while working with power tools or rotating equipment. • Do not increase the leverage by adding sleeved additions(e.g. a pipe or snipe)to increase tool handle length. • Make provisions to prevent machines from restarting through proper lockout/tagout(refer to S3AM-325-PRI—Lockout Tagout). 4.3.2 Cutting Tools • Always use the specific tool designed for the task. Tubing cutters, snips, self-retracting knives, concealed blade cutters, and related tools are task specific and minimize the risk of hand injury. For more information about cutting tools, see S3AM-317-ATT1 Safe Alternative Tools. • Fixed open-blade knives(FOBK)are prohibited from use during the course of AECOM work. o Examples of fixed open-blade knives include pocket knives, multi-tools, hunting knives, and standard utility knives. o Any exception to this requirement shall require approval of the Manager/Supervisor and SH&E Manager. • When utilizing cutting tools, personnel will observe the following precautions to the fullest extent possible: o Use the correct tool and correct size tool for the job. o Cut in a direction away from yourself and not toward other workers in the area. o Maintain the noncutting hand and arm toward the body and out of the direction of the cutting tool if it were to slip out of the material being cut. o Ensure that the tool is sharp and clean; dirty and dull tools typically cause poor cuts and more hazard than a sharp, clean cutting tool. o Store these tools correctly with covers in place or blades retracted, as provided by the manufacturer. o On tasks where cutting may be very frequent or last all day(e.g., liner samples), consider Kevlar®gloves in the PPE evaluation for the project. o Do not remove guards on paper cutters. o In office locations, paper cutters must always be kept in a locked position when not in use. 4.3.3 Moving/Rotating Equipment • General Requirements for Rotating Equipment(feed augers, chippers, conveyors, etc.) Hand Safety(S3AM-317-PR1) Revision 1 July 31,2019 PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED.
