Hazards caused by dust and vapours

■ The dusts and vapours produced by using automatic screwdrivers
can be hazardous to health (e.g. cause cancer, birth defects,
asthma and/or dermatitis); it is essential to carry out a risk assess-
ment in respect of these risks and to implement 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.
■ All machine components or accessories intended for collecting,
extracting or suppressing airborne dust or vapours or should be
used and serviced properly in accordance with the manufactur-
er's instructions.
■ Use a dust mask as per the instructions provided by your employ-
er or as required by health and safety regulations.

Hazards caused by noise

■ Excessive noise levels in conjunction with insufficient hearing pro-
tection may lead to permanent hearing damage, loss of hearing
and other problems, such as tinnitus (ringing, buzzing, whistling
or humming in your ears). It is essential to carry out a risk assess-
ment with regard to these hazards and implement suitable control
mechanisms.
■ Suitable control mechanisms include measures such as the use of
insulating materials to avoid ringing noises from occurring on the
workpieces.
■ Use hearing protection according to the instructions provided by
your employer and as required by work and health safety regu-
lations.
