Tools shall be visually inspected at the beginning of each shift to ensure that the tools are in safe and usable condition. All damaged and/or defective tools will be immediately reported to the supervisor and/or authorized repair personnel. Only authorized repair personnel will perform maintenance and repairs on hand and portable power tools. Prior to use the tool shall be tested each day before loading to see that safety devices are in proper working order in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommended procedure.

Written or electronic records of inspection should be kept on file for the service life of product.
