Powder Actuated Fastening Tools: Employer's Safety Training Guide.

PB83173997

Publication Date	1977
Personal Author	Karches, G. J.; Froehlich, P. A.
Page Count	42
Abstract	The objective of this publication is to provide information and ideas that are useful to the employer in training employees for the safe use of powder actuated tools. In order to accomplish this objective it will be necessary to point out safety rules and regulations and some responsibilities of the employer. Because of the nature and content of prescribed training for operators of powder actuated tools, employer's responsibilities sometimes seem to be transferred to the employee. Such is not the case. The law states that it is the duty of each employer to 'furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees.' This duty is not transferrable.
