Risk Assessment for Use of Cartridge Operated Tools

Description

Risk Assessment for Use of Cartridge Operated Tool:

1. Cartridge operated tools should never be used carelessly;
2.  Pins should not be driven through pre-drilled holes unless a special adapter is used which will ensure that the pin is guided right up to the instant of contact with the working surface;
3.  Anyone using a cartridge operated tool should do so only from a firm and stable position;
4.  A scaffold is preferable to a ladder, because the pressure of the tool when fired may cause the operative to lose balance;
