Stay Safe With OSHA-Compliant Air Guns
Cleaning errant chips and debris off equipment, parts and surfaces using compressed air is an important aspect of industrial housekeeping. But without the proper tools and precautions, cleaning with compressed air can put workers at serious risk of injury — and employers at risk of OSHA citations and penalties.
Powered by compressed air, safety air guns minimize the danger of cleaning equipment in hazardous or hard-to-reach areas. They are ideal for cleaning conveyors, rotating equipment, cutting tools, ovens, electrical equipment and other dangerous machines (even as those machines continue to run), from a safe distance, thereby minimizing the risk of operator injury. In addition, cleaning with compressed air is inherently much faster than – and often a preferable alternative to – using a vacuum. And because today’s advanced safety air guns are designed to be comfortable and ergonomic, they provide hours of fatigue-free operation and boost worker productivity.
