INFORMATION SHEET 4.1-1
Maintenance of Tools and Equipment

Learning Objectives:

After reading this Information Sheet, you MUST be able to:

1. Explain the importance of maintaining tools and equipment
2. Identify the different ways on how to handle safely the tools and equipment

Construction tools and equipment suffer a lot of wear and tear. Hence, it is
important to maintain them regularly. This will help increase the service life as
well as the performance of the equipment. Precautionary maintenance of tools and
equipment will also help reduce unwanted expenses related to broken or faulty
equipment. Small problems generally lead to bigger issues if left unattended.
Perform all cleaning and repair work as soon as you see any signs of damage or
neglect. This will keep your instruments from failing you at crucial moments.

Steps on How to Maintain Tools and Equipment

1. Clean your tools. Cleaning the tools regularly is essential to their proper
functioning. After a day of work, your tools will be covered with some

amount of dirt. It’s important to clean them after you’re finished using them.
Although a thorough cleaning is not required on a daily basis, make sure

you clean your tools regularly. When cleaning your tools, don’t use
chemicals that are extremely harsh. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines
for proper cleaning and maintenance.

2. Protect electrical cords. Airlines and electrical cords are prone to heavy
damage since they are generally in the way of construction vehicles, and foot
traffic. Other machinery like forklifts, drills, etc. can easily cut through

TESDA-CSHCI Date Developed: Doc. No. ________

Maintaining Tools and Developed by:
Equipment Page 8 of 38

wires. To keep the wires and airlines from getting damaged, it is important
to protect them. You can cover the electrical cords with industrial strength
casings or purpose-built ramps.

3. Lubricate tools. Whether you work with pneumatic or regular tools, it is
important to lubricate them regularly. Lubricating tools helps them to
perform better and reduces wear and tear of components.
Lubrication is even more important when working with air or pneumatic
tools. Pneumatic tools need to be lubricated once a day before use. When
moisture or condensation enters the interiors of pneumatic tools, it can
cause corrosion. Corrosion can decrease the life of an instrument. Corroded
parts are difficult to repair and replace. Hence, the internal components of
pneumatic tools should be coated with special air-tool oil. This oil prevents
corrosion by displacing any moisture that enters the interior of the
equipment.

4. Inspect tools regularly. Regularly inspect your tools for signs of damage
and faulty functioning. Inspections should take place at the end of each
construction job. Ensure that you repair them immediately if there is any
damage. This will avoid any last minute hassle.

5. Store tools with care. Storing tools properly is of prime importance.
Although tools are designed for rough use, it is important to store them
properly. Cover up your tools to keep dirt and rain away from the machine.
If the tools aren’t used for a long time, inspect them regularly for signs of
damage, wear and tear, corrosion, etc.

General requirements for equipment maintenance include:

 Obtaining a copy of the maintenance schedule recommended by the
manufacturer.

 Ensuring that maintenance is performed as required.

 Ensuring that the person(s) performing the maintenance are competent (e.g.
licensed mechanic).

 Retaining records of maintenance/service conducted.

 Specifying who is responsible for overseeing equipment maintenance and
where the records are kept.

 Setting up a system for removal and tagging of damaged or defective tools
and equipment.

Defective Tools

Defective tools can cause serious and painful injuries. If a tool is defective in some
way, DON'T USE IT.

Be aware of problems like:

 chisels and wedges with mushroomed heads
 split or cracked handles
 chipped or broken drill bits
 wrenches with worn out jaws
 tools which are not complete, such as files without handles

To ensure safe use of hand tools, remember:

 never use a defective tool
 double check all tools prior to use
 ensure defective tools are repaired

Air, gasoline or electric power tools, require skill and complete attention on the
part of the user even when they are in good condition. Don't use power tools when
they are defective in any way.

Watch for problems like:

 broken or inoperative guards
 insufficient or improper grounding due to damage on double insulated tools
 no ground wire (on plug) or cords of standard tools
 the on/off switch not in good working order
 tool blade is cracked
 the wrong grinder wheel is being used
 the guard has been wedged back on a power saw

INFORMATION SHEET 4.2-1
Safety Practices and Uses of PPEs

Learning Objectives:

After reading this Information Sheet, you MUST be able to:

1. Observed the Safety Practices of using tools and equipment.
2. Identify the uses of different PPEs.

Woodworking is a fascinating industry, and can
be a very enjoyable vocation or avocation. But like
more businesses or hobbies there are certain rules
that must be followed to ensure ones enjoyment and
safety. To avoid accidents, safety must be paramount
in one’s mind at all times when working with tools or
equipment. To achieve maximum safety one must
realize that in a woodworking setting all hand tools,
portable power equipment, and woodworking
machines have a specific use. Also, each piece of
equipment has its own special hazards if not used
properly. One must become very familiar with their
use and maintenance in order to ensure personal
safety, gain maximum enjoyment and produce useful
projects that one can be proud of.

General Woodworking and Wood Shop Safety Rules

Always wear safety equipment. The first
and most important rule of woodworking is
to wear appropriate safety equipment. While
hearing protection is necessary for some
very noisy tools such as routers and surface
planers, and latex gloves may be necessary
when applying finishes, there is no time in
the wood shop that you should be without
your safety glasses. Put them on when you
enter the shop, and do not take them off
until you leave.

Wear appropriate clothing. Whenever working in the wood shop, remember to
avoid loose-fitting clothing, as you wouldn’t want any of your attire to become
entangled. In a saw blade or cutting head. Wear clothes that are comfortable for

the environment in which we are working, but also will protect your body form any
wayward wood chips that might result from cutting.

TESDA-CSHCI Date Developed: Doc. No. ________
CBLM on Carpentry NC II Issued by:
________________
Maintaining Tools and Developed by:
Equipment Page 20 of 38

Avoid drugs and alcohol. Intoxicating substances and woodworking area are a
dangerous mix. Stay out of the wood shop if you are even remotely under the
influence of any intoxicants.

Disconnect power before blade changes. Whenever you need to change a blade
or bit on a power tool, always disconnect the electricity to the power tool before
even beginning the blade change. Many of a woodworker has lost finger by
forgetting this simple very important rule.

Use sharp blades and bits. This one seems like a no-brainer, but a dull cutting
tool is a dangerous tool. If a saw blade is not sharp as it ideally be, the tool and
the woodworker will have no work harder to complete the desired task. In such
cases, the tool will be more likely to kick-back or bind.

Always check for nails, screws and other metals. Another no-brainer tip which
does not bear mentioning, so that is why we are going to mention it. Always check
the stock we are preparing to cut for any metals (nails, screws, staples, etc.) before
beginning a cut.

Always work against the cutter. Woodworking power tools are designed so that
the direction that the wood moves through the tool. In other words, a router bit or
saw blade should cut against the motion and not with it.

Never reach over a blade to remove cut-offs. When working on a table saw,
miter saw, etc. never put your hands anywhere near the moving blade, especially
when attempting to remove waste cut-offs. Wait until the blade has stop moving
and then reach the cut-off.

Avoid distractions. Distractions are part of everyday life, and working in the
wood shop is no different. When you are summoned or distracted while in the
middle of performing an action with a power tool, remember to always finish the
cut to a safe conclusion before dealing with the distraction.

INFORMATION SHEET 4.2-2
Workplace Housekeeping

Learning Objective:

After reading this Information Sheet, you MUST be able to:

1. Know the importance of housekeeping in the workplace.

Why should we pay attention to housekeeping at work?

Effective housekeeping can help
control or eliminate workplace hazards.
Poor housekeeping practices frequently
contribute to incidents. If the sight of
paper, debris, clutter and spills is
accepted as normal, then other more
serious hazards may be taken for
granted.

Housekeeping is not just
cleanliness. It includes keeping work
areas neat and orderly, maintaining halls
and floors free of slip and trip hazards,
and removing of waste materials (e.g.,
paper, cardboard) and other fire hazards
from work areas. It also requires paying
attention to important details such as the
layout of the whole workplace, aisle
marking, the adequacy of storage
facilities, and maintenance. Good
housekeeping is also a basic part of
incident and fire prevention.

Effective housekeeping is an ongoing operation: it is not a one-time or hit-
and-miss clean-up done occasionally. Periodic "panic" clean-ups are costly and
ineffective in reducing incidents.

What is the purpose of workplace housekeeping?

Poor housekeeping can be a cause of incidents, such as:

 tripping over loose objects on floors, stairs and platforms
 being hit by falling objects
 slipping on greasy, wet or dirty surfaces
 striking against projecting, poorly stacked items or misplaced material
 cutting, puncturing, or tearing the skin of hands or other parts of the body

on projecting nails, wire or steel strapping

TESDA-CSHCI Date Developed: Doc. No. ________
CBLM on Carpentry NC II Issued by:
________________
Maintaining Tools and Developed by:
Equipment Page 25 of 38

To avoid these hazards, a workplace must "maintain" order throughout a
workday. Although this effort requires a great deal of management and planning,
the benefits are many.

What are some benefits of good housekeeping?

Effective housekeeping results in:

 reduced handling to ease the flow of materials
 fewer tripping and slipping incidents in clutter-free and spill-free work areas
 decreased fire hazards
 lower worker exposures to hazardous products (e.g. dusts, vapours)
 better control of tools and materials, including inventory and supplies
 more efficient equipment clean-up and maintenance
 better hygienic conditions leading to improved health
 more effective use of space
 reduced property damage by improving preventive maintenance
 less janitorial work
 improved morale
 improved productivity (tools and materials will be easy to find)

How do I plan good housekeeping program?

A good housekeeping program plans and
manages the orderly storage and movement of
materials from point of entry to exit. It includes a
material flow plan to ensure minimal handling. The
plan also makes sure that work areas are not used
as storage areas by having workers move materials
to and from work areas as needed. Part of the plan
could include investing in extra bins and more
frequent disposal.

The costs of this investment could be offset by
the elimination of repeated handling of the same
material and more effective use of the workers' time.
Often, ineffective or insufficient storage planning
results in materials being handled many times and
being stored in hazardous ways. Knowing the
workplace layout and the movement of materials
throughout it will help when planning work procedures.

Worker training is an essential part of any good housekeeping program.
Workers need to know how to work safely with the products they use. They also
need to know how to protect other workers such as by posting signs (e.g., "Wet -
Slippery Floor") and reporting any unusual conditions.

Housekeeping order is "maintained" not "achieved." Cleaning and organization
must be done regularly, not just at the end of the shift. Integrating housekeeping

TESDA-CSHCI Date Developed: Doc. No. ________
CBLM on Carpentry NC II Issued by:
________________
Maintaining Tools and Developed by:
Equipment Page 26 of 38

into jobs can help ensure this is done. A good housekeeping program identifies
and assigns responsibilities for the following:

 clean up during the shift
 day-to-day clean-up
 waste disposal
 removal of unused materials
 inspection to ensure clean-up is complete

Do not forget out-of-the-way places such as shelves, basements, sheds, and
boiler rooms that would otherwise be overlooked.

The final step to any housekeeping program is inspection. It is the only way to
check for deficiencies in the program so that changes can be made. Examples of
checklists include inspecting offices and manufacturing facilities.

What are the elements of an effective housekeeping program?

Maintenance
The maintenance of buildings and equipment may be the most important element
of good housekeeping. Maintenance involves keeping buildings, equipment and
machinery in safe, efficient working order and in good repair. It includes
maintaining sanitary facilities and regularly painting and cleaning walls. Broken
windows, damaged doors, defective plumbing and broken floor surfaces can make
a workplace look neglected; these conditions can cause incidents and affect work
practices. So it is important to replace or fix broken or damaged items as quickly
as possible. A good maintenance program provides for the inspection,
maintenance, upkeep and repair of tools, equipment, machines and processes.

Dust and Dirt Removal
Enclosures and exhaust ventilation systems may fail to collect dust, dirt and chips
adequately. Vacuum cleaners are suitable for removing light dust and dirt that is
not otherwise hazardous. Industrial models have special fittings for cleaning walls,
ceilings, ledges, machinery, and other hard-to-reach places where dust and dirt
may accumulate.

Special-purpose vacuums are useful for removing hazardous products. For
example, vacuum cleaners fitted with HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) filters
may be used to capture fine particles of asbestos or fibreglass.

Dampening (wetting) floors or using sweeping compounds before sweeping reduces
the amount of airborne dust. The dust and grime that collect in places like
shelves, piping, conduits, light fixtures, reflectors, windows, cupboards and
lockers may require manual cleaning.

Compressed air should not be used for removing dust, dirt or chips from
equipment or work surfaces.

Employee Facilities

Employee facilities need to be adequate, clean and well maintained. Lockers may
be necessary for storing employees' personal belongings. Washroom facilities
require cleaning once or more each shift. They also need to have a good supply of
soap, towels plus disinfectants, if needed.

If workers are using hazardous products, employee facilities should provide special
precautions as needed such as showers, washing facilities and change rooms.
Some facilities may require two locker rooms with showers between. Using such
double locker rooms allows workers to shower off workplace contaminants and
reduces the chance of contaminating their "street clothes" by keeping their work
clothes separated from the clothing that they wear home.

Smoking, eating or drinking in the work area should be prohibited where
hazardous products are handled. The eating area should be separate from the
work area and should be cleaned properly each shift.

Surfaces
Floors: Poor floor conditions are a leading cause of incidents so cleaning up spilled
oil and other liquids at once is important. Allowing chips, shavings and dust to
accumulate can also cause incidents. Trapping chips, shavings and dust before
they reach the floor or cleaning them up regularly can prevent their accumulation.
Areas that cannot be cleaned continuously, such as entrance ways, should have
anti-slip flooring. Keeping floors in good order also means replacing any worn,
ripped, or damaged flooring that poses a tripping hazard.

Walls: Light-coloured walls reflect light while dirty or dark-coloured walls absorb
light. Contrasting colours warn of physical hazards and mark obstructions such
as pillars. Paint can highlight railings, guards and other safety equipment, but
should never be used as a substitute for guarding. The program should outline the
regulations and standards for colours.

Maintain Light Fixtures
Dirty light fixtures reduce essential light levels. Clean light fixtures can improve
lighting efficiency significantly.

Aisles and Stairways
Aisles should be wide enough to accommodate people and vehicles comfortably
and safely. Aisle space allows for the movement of people, products and materials.
Warning signs and mirrors can improve sight-lines in blind corners. Arranging
aisles properly encourages people to use them so that they do not take shortcuts
through hazardous areas.

Keeping aisles and stairways clear is important. They should not be used for
temporary "overflow" or "bottleneck" storage. Stairways and aisles also require
adequate lighting.

Spill Control
The best way to control spills is to stop them before they happen. Regularly
cleaning and maintaining machines and equipment is one way. Another is to use
drip pans and guards where possible spills might occur. When spills do occur, it is
important to clean them up immediately. Absorbent materials are useful for wiping
up greasy, oily or other liquid spills. Used absorbents must be disposed of properly
and safely.

Tools and Equipment
Tool housekeeping is very important, whether in the tool room, on the rack, in the
yard, or on the bench. Tools require suitable fixtures with marked locations to
provide an orderly arrangement. Returning tools promptly after use reduces the
chance of it being misplaced or lost. Workers should regularly inspect, clean and
repair all tools and take any damaged or worn tools out of service.

Waste Disposal
The regular collection, grading and sorting of scrap contribute to good
housekeeping practices. It also makes it possible to separate materials that can be
recycled from those going to waste disposal facilities.

Allowing material to build up on the floor wastes time and energy since additional
time is required for cleaning it up. Placing scrap containers near where the waste
is produced encourages orderly waste disposal and makes collection easier. All
waste receptacles should be clearly labelled (e.g., recyclable glass, plastic, scrap
metal, etc.).

Storage
Good organization of stored materials is essential for overcoming material storage
problems whether on a temporary or permanent basis. There will also be fewer
strain injuries if the amount of handling is reduced, especially if less manual
material handling is required. The location of the stockpiles should not interfere
with work but they should still be readily available when required. Stored
materials should allow at least one metre (or about three feet) of clear space under
sprinkler heads.

Stacking cartons and drums on a firm foundation and cross tying them, where
necessary, reduces the chance of their movement. Stored materials should not
obstruct aisles, stairs, exits, fire equipment, emergency eyewash fountains,
emergency showers, or first aid stations. All storage areas should be clearly
marked.

Flammable, combustible, toxic and other hazardous materials should be stored in
approved containers in designated areas that are appropriate for the different
hazards that they pose. Storage of materials should meet all requirements
specified in the fire codes and the regulations of environmental and occupational
health and safety agencies in your jurisdiction.

INFORMATION SHEET 4.1-1
Storing of Tools and Equipment

Learning Objective:

After reading this Information Sheet, you MUST be able to:
1. Know the correct way of storing tools and equipment.

Good organization is not just about saving time when you are looking for the

proper tool, or even just about saving space in your garage or shed. Good
organization can go a long way toward keeping tools in proper working order for
longer.

So never leave tools scattered about where they are susceptible to getting dinged
or could be the cause of an accident. Install shelving units and invest in a quality

toolbox that meets your size and portability needs. Proper storage away from the
elements can also protect metal tools from rust and wooden handles form rot. Be

sure to clean and dry all tools before storing them and maintain a cool and dry
climate in your workshop or garage.

Maintain regularly

Use a versatile product to lubricate power tools. A long-lasting lubricant means
less maintenance for you. Maintaining your tools and equipment with regular
lubrication will protect them against wear, rust and corrosion and can actually

improve the condition of metal surfaces.

Use correctly

Most tools are designed to perform specific functions. Using the wrong tool for a

job can pose a safety hazard to you and those around you. By using your
equipment incorrectly, you can make the tool less effective for its intended use. Be
aware, even with good maintenance habits, tools will need to be replaced overtime.

High-quality tools can be expensive. But with the proper care, you can keep them
in good working order all season long and well into the future.

Ways to store tools and equipment

1. Delegate a portion of your garage, shed or basement closet as a place to
store tools. Clean out the junk and clutter and make a space only for tools.

Figure out how much space is needed for the amount of tools you have.
Sweep away cobwebs, dirt and other foreign matter. Get a shelving unit and

store chemicals, liquids and paint substances out of the reach of children
and pets.

2. Find the parts. Locate cords, bits, nails and screws and organize them.
Allocate plastic bins to store smaller household tools. If you have a large tool

Equipment Page 35 of 38

collection, organize by type for easy location. Keep the parts for each specific
tool close by.

3. Clean out dirt and debris from tools. Oil power tools to lubricate moving
parts. Repair loose handles and clean out oil or other fluids used to power
the tool. Sharpen blades and replace worn out parts.

4. Set up racks. Mount commercially available racks along the wall of your
garage or storage area to hang garden tools, cords and other equipment.
Screw racks into the wall with screws recommended by the manufacturer
and a power drill. Wind long cords in a loop and hang from rack. Place tools
on racks by the handle. Draw the outline of the tool with a permanent
marker to identify its place, or use labels to mark the location.

5. Create a library. For tools and appliances that have various functions,
designate a library area or bin within the storage space for user manuals
and warranty sheets. Store the booklets alphabetically and in a dry area.
Type up a sheet listing all of the books to create simple table of contents.
