Pneumatic tools, which operate using compressed air, offer great advantages in manufacturing. However, their use comes with the risk of problems like air leaks, flying debris, and potential tool malfunction. To mitigate risks associated with pneumatic tool use in manufacturing, adherence to Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards is essential. Meeting OSHA Regulatory Standards … Continued
