The Nail Gun - Pneumatic - Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) is a guide for businesses aiming to maintain safety and compliance while using pneumatic nail guns, with instructions for safe and efficient operation.
It covers the hazards (noise, electricity, projectiles, air under pressure, manual handling and poor housekeeping), the PPE to wear, operator training, the pre-operational inspection and maintenance under lockout/tagout.
It sets out step-by-step operation from compressor set-up to firing nails, how to clear jammed nails, when bump-fire nail guns must not be used, and a hazard checklist for powered non-mobile plant.
