Answer:
Employees that must use powder-actuated tools are required to be licensed and trained to use them safely.
Explanation:
Powder actuated tools are a type of nail gun used to join materials to surfaces likes steel or concrete, thus making them very dangerous. Unlike other tools, powder actuated tools work more similarly to a firearm, relying on a chemical reaction that causes a controlled explosion to produce sufficient strength to penetrate steel or concrete. Thus, to prevent accidents or negligence, all employees who must work with these tools are required by the American National Standards Institute and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to be trained and certified in proper tool use.
