“Safe Use of Inspection Cameras”
Key Hazards
- Lens damage from debris
- Trips from camera cables
- Strain from awkward positions
2–3 Minute Talk Script
Safe use of inspection cameras is important for plumbers, HVAC technicians, and inspectors. Cameras provide visibility in confined spaces but require careful cable management.
Workers should ensure the cable is free of knots and avoid pulling sharply to prevent lens damage.
Different camera heads have different durability levels. Workers should choose the correct head size for the pipe or cavity.
Taking breaks during long inspections helps reduce lower-back and neck strain.
Safety Reminders
- Handle cables gently.
- Keep cables clear of walkways.
- Use the correct camera head.
- Take breaks during long inspections.
Ask the Crew
- Do we need a smaller or larger camera head today?
- Is the inspection area free of trip hazards?
