      17.5 Plant Using Compressed Air
Compressed air is used for air-driven tools or equipment. This air must be used with caution as misuse as
outlined below, can cause serious injury and possibly death. The following precautions will be taken at all
times;

             Never direct the stream of compressed air towards your body or towards anyone else.
             Never use compressed air to blow dust from objects or any part of your body.
             Never use water hoses as air-line hoses.
             Never indulge in horseplay with compressed air.
             Hoses, connections and securing clamps shall be checked to ensure they are not damaged,
              before putting any pressure in the line and ensure they are suitable for using compressed air.
             Lines shall be bled before disconnecting the equipment or air hoses.
             Ensure all joints in air hoses and lines are tight. Safety clips must be used on all quick release
              couplings (Chicago type) and safety chains/hose whips secured to the bull hose lines with the
              larger diameter.
             Air receivers are required to be inspected and have a current inspection certificate, which
              must be displayed prominently. Frequency of inspections corresponds with the expiry date of
              the certificate.

      17.6 Explosive Plant & Gas & Power Actuated Tools
Explosive plant/tools including Ramset and Hilti fastening tools shall be tested in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommendations. As described in the Risk Management section of the WHSMP a SWMS will
be reviewed on site prior to the task commencing. All tools will be compliant with the relevant Australian
Standards.
