How are tools required to be used, maintained and transported in logging?
- All tools used by employees must be in serviceable condition. Inspections
before each work shift must assure that handles and guards are in place,
sound, tight-fitting, properly shaped, and free of splinters and sharp edges;
there is no "mushrooming" or chipping of the heads of shock,
impact-driven, and riving tools; cutting edges are sharp and properly shaped;
and all safety devices are in place and functioning properly.
- All tools must be used only for the purposes for which they are designed
and be stored in their assigned location or container when not in use.
- When transporting tools in a vehicle, they must be secured or arranged to
prevent causing a hazard to the vehicle driver and passengers.
