Stationary power tools can be helpful, but also present many hazards. Most power tools operate at high speeds and have numerous moving parts. Safety precautions can include engineering controls, such as machine guarding, and administrative controls, such as safe procedures. Additionally work area standards for cleanliness, organization, and personal protection equipment (PPE) can make operating stationary power tools safer. The Stationary Power Tool Safety training course explains how to safety operate a number of stationary power tools by identifying general work area safety requirements and tool-specific requirements.
