Sandblasting is a great way to clean up your work space as well as perform maintenance around the house. You can remove paint, dirt and other built up grime that is laying around everywhere. There are some precautions that need to be taken when using a sand blaster and one of them is not to manipulate the dead man switch. The dead man switch automatically shuts the machine off during those times when it needs to be shut off. If you drop the hose and the switch is being held, then this is where injuries can happen.
Key Takeaways:
- Sandblasting is a technique used to remove paint, and although it can be effective, it is dangerous.
- It is important to ensure that sandblasting equipment and protective equipment are functioning properly, or injuries can result.
- One of the most common causes of sandblasting injuries is when the dead-man switch is used improperly.
“Sandblasting injuries are not always a direct result of the dust. Sandblasting is an extremely loud activity. Hearing loss is a real possibility for blasters and many already suffer from it.”
