causes of injuries in the workplace . Pay atten­
tion to surfaces that may have become slippery
from the use of the machine and also be aware
of tripping hazards caused by air or hydraulic
hoses .

Hidden hazards caused by power or other
supply lines may be present .
■ This compressed air tool is not suitable for use
in explosive atmospheres and is not insulated
against contact with power sources .
■ Ensure that there are no electric cables, gas
pipes, etc . that might result in a hazard if dam­
aged by using the machine .

Hazards caused by dust and vapours

■ The dusts and vapours produced by using auto­
matic screwdrivers can be hazardous to health
(e .g . cause cancer, birth defects, asthma and/
or dermatitis); it is essential to carry out a risk
assessment in respect of these risks and to im­
plement corresponding regulatory mechanisms .
■ The risk assessment should include the dust
caused by using the machine and any existing
dust that may be raised at the same time .
■ The exhaust air should be extracted so that the
minimum amount of dust is raised in an already
dusty environment .
■ If dusts or vapours are created, the main priority
must be to control these at the site of their
release .
