INTRODUCTION
In addition to practical training with tools and materials, a plumber must

learn to the plumbing symbols and abbreviation. It is difficult for a plumber to
make any interpretation of a plan if he/ she do not know the plumbing symbols
and abbreviation indicated in the plumbing layout or print and specifications
SYMBOLS AND ABBREVIATIONS
A common set of symbols are used on architectural prints to represent

materials, building objects, and various dimensions and locations. Piping
symbols are used by architect and mechanical engineers on prints to represent
plumbing fixtures and piping systems, as well as pipe fittings and valves used to
construct plumbing systems.
A print is a drawing showing a building structure and all of its
components. Prints are also referred to as blueprints or working drawings.
Specifications are written information that supplements the prints and
provides additional details that could not be shown on the prints or that require
additional description such as information on legal responsibilities, insurance,
quality of workmanship, and other necessary details such as brands and types
of plumbing fixtures and equipment. See figure 1.1
Note: Symbols and Abbreviations in plumbing trade may appear similar in

other qualification but it may have different meaning and application.

Information Sheet No. 1.1-4
Hand and Power Tools safety

explain, identify and perform safety handling of hand tools.
INTRODUCTION:
In this information sheet contains OH& S on handling both hand and

power tools. One’s a plumber practice safe handling of tools he/ she can avoid
accident, injury which may result into death or damage to property. On the
other hand if the plumber did not practice such safety handling of tools it may
have a reverse result.
HAND AND POWER TOOL SAFETY
Plumbing tools are classified into two; the HAND TOOLS and the POWER
TOOLS.
Differences between hand and power tools:
– Hand tools have no power source, other than the physical force
applied by the user. Hand tools include anything from axes to
hammers, and screwdrivers to wrenches
– Power Tools require a non-human power source to function

properly--e.g. External (electricity, compressed air, etc.) or
Internal (battery pack, internal combustion engine, etc.).

Both kinds of tools require specific safety precautions or rules to be
followed; yet some rules will apply to both.
There are five basic rules that apply to all tools used either hand or
power and general safety rules that govern with the use of hand tools
5 Basic Rules
 Keep all tools in good working order
 Use the tool only for what it is designed to do
 Examine the tool for damage before each use
 Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when operating any

tool
 Always wear the appropriate PPE when operating any tool
GENERAL “Hand Tool” SAFETY

RULES
 Carry all sharp tools in a holster or sheath
 Tag worn, damaged or defective tools and do not use them
 Do not perform “makeshift” repairs to tools
 Do not use cheater bars
The Greatest Hazards of Hand Tools: Misuse/Improper Maintenance
 Using a screwdriver as a chisel

 Could cause the tip to break and fly, hitting either the operator or
bystanders

 A wooden handle on tool such as a hammer or an axe is loose, splintered
or cracked
 The tool head could fly off and strike the operator or bystanders
 Impact tools, e.g. chisels and wedges, are unsafe if their heads are
“mushroomed”
 The heads might shatter on impact sending sharp fragments flying
 Wrenches must not be used if the jaws are sprung, cracked or twisted
 The wrench could slip off
SAFETY RULES for SPECIFIC Hand Tools
HAMMERS
 Use a claw hammer for pulling nails

 Do not strike a hardened steel surface with a claw hammer
 Do not strike one hammer against another hammer
 Do not use a hammer as a wedge or pry-bar
CHISELS
 Use only chisels that are sharp

 Do not use chisels with a mushroom head
 Use only hammers that are designed for use with chisels

SAWS
 Do not carry the saw by the blade

 Do not use any saw that has a dull saw blade
 Keep control of the saw by releasing downward pressure at the end of
each stroke
SCREWDRIVERS
 Always ensure the screwdriver fits the head of the screw

 Do not hold the work piece against your body while using the screwdriver
 Do not use a screwdriver as a punch, chisel, pry bar or nail puller
 Do not use a screwdriver to test the charge of a battery
 Use blue handled screwdrivers when working on electrical
 Do not use a screwdriver to make a starting hole for screws

WRENCHES
 Do not use wrenches that are bent, cracked, or that have loose handles
 A hammer may be used for striking “face wrenches” ONLY
 If at all possible use socket or box wrenches
 Do not use a cheater bar
SNIPS
 Wear safety glasses or goggles when using snips

 Wear work gloves when cutting material with snips
 Do not use snips as a hammer, screwdriver, wrench or pry bar
 Use the correct type of snips for the job

GENERAL “Power Tool” SAFETY
 Do not use power tools you are not trained on

 Do not lift or carry power tools by their power cord
 Keep power cords out of the paths of the power tool
 Do not leave tools unattended
 Do not stand in water or wet surfaces when running a power tool

 Hold all power tools by the plastic hand grips or other nonconductive
areas.
 Do not plug multiple electrical cords into a single outlet
 Do not use power tools or extension cords with a missing prong
 Ground all tools unless double insulated
