While compressed air is quite handy in a work area, it can be dangerous if not used properly.

• A blast of air under 40 psi from 4 inches away can rupture an eardrum or cause brain damage.
• As little as 12 p.s.i can pop an eyeball from its socket.
• Air can enter the navel, even through a layer of clothing, and inflate and rupture the intestines.
• Directed at the mouth, compressed air can rupture the lungs.

The following guidelines will reduce the risk of injury when using compressed air piping systems:

• Examine all hoses and connections to see they are in good condition before turning pressure on.
• Never point the air hose nozzle at any part of your body or at any other person.
• Never look into the end of a compressed air device.
• No horseplay with air hose.
• Never kink the hose to stop airflow - turn it off at the control valve.
• When using air for cleaning, make sure the pressure is no higher than 30 p.s.i.
• Always wear eye proection when using compressed air.
