Explosive Power Tool - Fastening Safe Work Method Statement:

The Powder Actuated (PA) Hand Held Fastening Tool Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) is a comprehensive procedure outlining the safety steps for operating hand held explosive fastening tools. PA hand-held tools are used to drive a fastener (such as pin, stud or bolt) through building materials using explosive force derived from the detonation of a cartridge containing explosives.

They are extremely powerful and dangerous tools that can cause serious injuries and death. The Powder Actuated Fastening Tool procedure is ready to use and is not a blank template. Simply add your company details, ABN, and include any site specific details or risks and make it specific to the task at hand.

It is then ready for printing and to be incorporated as part of your overall OHS System. The Explosive Power Tool - Fastening procedure can be used as part of your OHS inductions, for Tool box talks or tender applications.

Clean Up and Storage :

• Ensure PA tool is unloaded
• Clean tool. Use detergent oil and wire brush to remove dirt and carbon build-up.
• Wear safety goggles.
• Inspect for any damage. Remove from service if detected.
• Place charges and tool in case and store in a locked/secured manner.
