Working with a DTH Hammer and DTH Bit requires attention to safety due to the high energy and pneumatic pressure involved. Operators should always wear appropriate protective equipment, including gloves, eye protection, and hearing protection.
Before starting operations, it is important to inspect the hammer and bit for any visible damage. Faulty components should be replaced immediately to avoid accidents. Secure assembly of the bit onto the hammer must be confirmed to prevent detachment during drilling.
Proper training on equipment handling and awareness of surroundings can reduce the risk of injury. Additionally, operators should follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for operating pressure and maintenance to ensure safe performance.
Adhering to safety procedures helps protect personnel and equipment, making drilling operations smoother and more reliable. Regular safety audits and refresher training sessions can further improve onsite safety culture.
