Within the workplace, there are many ways to misuse compressed air that can lead to serious or life-threatening injuries. At typical working pressures of 60 to 100 psi, air can be injected into the body with catastrophic results.

It is essential to understand the risks of using compressed air and know the best practices for operating the equipment.
