Information Sheet 4.1
Standard operational procedure, principles and techniques in maintaining tools
Tool management is a manifestation of a good serviceman or any person working with tools. The way a person manages his tools has bearing on the way he manages his personal property.
Much to say, a good tool manager is efficient in listing and keeping records. Up-to-date records of tools both the old and newly bought must be entered to the roster of tools. Basically, fundamental principles and techniques in maintaining tools at the minimum level is good enough but the more routine schedule you make , the better. It will only take a matter of one to two hours to maintain tools. Sometimes, it takes more than what expected time is consumed depending on the extent of the number and size.
One of the maintenance schemes of the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) under the Law on Tools and Maintenance is to ensure the safekeeping and securing of the equipment including tools.
This law helps in identifying safety procedure before it grows into a severe hazard.
In order to avoid these problems, some principles must be followed. Neglect of these principles opens a doorstep to risk and danger to life and property.
OPERATIONAL PROCEDURE IN TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE
1. SAFE USE. Assurance of safe use is expected. This can be done by knowing the purpose, application, and requirement of tools and equipment. Without this knowhow, the user will only be guessing and wrong use is expected. Risk of injury is more likely to happen. Shop / industry owners are expected to train their workers. This will build morale and reduce danger.
2. SAFEKEEPING. Regular maintenance of tools and equipment through safekeeping must be a part of the health and safety of users and owners. Dangers to theft and exposure to moisture is avoided, property is taken care of, and risk is evaded. Putting the tools, equipment and paper documents such as manual of specifications in a very protected but easy to retrieve place is a good habit of safekeeping. Storage room must be properly locked and ventilated.
3. SAFETY SIGNS AND SYMBOLS. By putting safety signs and symbols, users are informed and warned of what to do and what not to do. Risk is limited and put in control. Specific safety signs for mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic must be clearly defined and placed in a visible area.
4. SAFETY PROTECTION. The use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is necessary. Safety gears must be worn properly. Suitability of PPE to the workplace must conform with the work being done. It must be comfortable so that user will not be irritated. The PPE can control health risk and decrease possibility of threat or injury. For face protection, eye wear, goggles, and safety shield used in welding are used. The body protection such as aprons or coverall garment serves as protection for the frontal body. High grade, heat and chemical resistant hand gloves protect the hands and a simple dust mask or respirator can ward off chemical fumes and dust for the respiratory system. Appropriate shoes can also protect from accidental fall of metallic parts. Not only that, safety in the workplace is also included. Fire extinguishers play a vital role in reducing and totally putting out the fire. Saw dust is a good cleaner for spilled oil on the floor.
