Page 2 ID IS LOADED (Reprinted from "The Safe Worker" You may have heard of the famous case ' of the worker who almost "blew his top" because of a compressed air acci- dent, In case you haven't heard it, here are the brief facts: A young man was completing his day's work, and he started to blow fine wood dust out of his clothing with air under about 80 pounds pressure. His arms were bare and the pores of his skin were opén, since he had been sweating freely. He held the air hose nozzle near his left hand. hen he turned it on, the air styuck his hand, and the hand and arm were immediately blown up to a startling size and he suffered extreme pain, Not only that, but he also felt such pain and pressure in his head that they found him ac- tually trying to hold the top of his skull onl This man recovered, but the doctors said if the air had entered his blood stream, as through a cut, it probably would have reached the small blood vessels in the brain, caused a clot wna brought death. This is a spectacular case, but there are many other examples of the serious, even tragic, results of misuse of air hoses. Compressed air is a great helper throughout industry, but it ean be a loaded gun in the hands of the thoughtless or foolhardy.

Use only sound, strong hose with secure couplings and connections. 2. Be sure there are no sharp points on metal hose parts. 3. Close control valve in portable pneumatic tools before turning on air, 4. Before changing one pneumatic tool for another, turn off air at control valve, Never kink hose to stop air flow. 5. Wear suitable goggles, mask, protective Cee or safety deviees.
