Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure (SWP) provides guidelines for the safe use of air-powered riveters, addressing hazards such as compressed air exposure, faulty equipment, flying particles, noise, and vibration. It highlights the need for thorough pre-operation checks, including inspecting riveter casings, connectors, and air hoses for damage and ensuring the correct chuck is fitted. The SWP emphasizes disconnecting the riveter from the air supply before replacing chucks to avoid injury from whipping hoses.

Operators are required to use personal protective equipment (PPE) such as eye protection, hearing protection, and gloves to protect against airborne debris and operational hazards. Post-use procedures involve shutting down air cocks, releasing air pressure, and securely storing hoses and tools to prevent damage. The document underscores the dangers of compressed air and advises against exposing skin to it while promoting adherence to these safety protocols to ensure proper and risk-free operation.
