			 High-velocity tools.
Tools of the high-velocity type 
										will have the
				following characteristics:
(a) The
			 muzzle end of the tool 
										will have a protective shield or guard at least
			 three and one-half inches in diameter, mounted perpendicular to and concentric
			 with the barrel, and designed to confine any flying fragments or particles that
			 might otherwise create a hazard at the time of firing.
(b) Where a standard shield or guard cannot
			 be used, or where it does not cover all apparent avenues through which flying
			 particles might escape, a special shield, guard, fixture, or jig, designed and
			 built by the manufacturer of the tool being used, which provides this degree of
			 protection, 
										will be used as a substitute.
(c) The tool 
										will be so
			 designed that it cannot be fired unless it is equipped with a standard
			 protective guard or shield, or a special shield, guard, fixture or
			 jig.
(d) Firing the tool.
(i) The firing mechanism
			 
											will be
			 so designed that the tool cannot fire during loading or preparation to fire, or
			 if the tool should be dropped while loaded.
(ii) The firing of the tool
			 
											will be
			 dependent upon at least two separate and distinct operations of the operator,
			 with the final firing movement being separate from the operation of bringing
			 the tool into the firing position.
(e) The tool 
										will be so
			 designed as not to be operable other than against a work surface, and unless
			 the operator is holding the tool against the work surface with a force at least
			 five pounds greater than the total weight of the tool.
(f) The tool 
										will be so
			 designed that it will not operate when equipped with the standard guard indexed
			 to the center position if any bearing surface of the guard is tilted more than
			 eight degrees from contact with the work surface.
(g) The tool 
										will be so
			 designed that positive means of varying the power are available or can be made
			 available to the operator as part of the tool, or as an auxiliary, in order to
			 make it possible for the operator to select a power level adequate to perform
			 the desired work without excessive force.
(h) The tool 
										will be so
			 designed that all breeching parts will be reasonably visible to allow a check
			 for any foreign matter that may be present.

				length that will not permit their being drawn up into the rotors. Pressed
				sleeve, swedged eyes, or equivalent means will be used for
				all freely suspended loads to prevent hand splices from spinning open or cable
				clamps from loosening.
(B)
			 Cargo hooks.
All electrically operated cargo hooks
				will
				have the electrical activating device so designed and installed as to prevent
				inadvertent operation. In addition, the cargo hooks will be equipped
				with an emergency mechanical control for releasing the load. Hooks
				will be
				tested prior to each day's operation to determine that the release functions
				properly, both electrically and mechanically.
(C) Personal protective equipment.
Personal protective equipment will be provided
				consisting of complete eye protection and a hard hat
				secured by a chinstrap.
(D)
			 Housekeeping.
Good housekeeping will be maintained in all helicopter loading and
				unloading areas.
(E) Weight
			 limitation.
The weight of an external load will not exceed
				the helicopter manufacturer's rating.
(F) Signal systems.
The employer will instruct the aircrew and ground personnel on the
				signal systems to be used and 
									will review the system with the employees in
				advance of hoisting the load. This applies to both radio and hand signal
				systems. Hand signals, where used, will be as shown
				in illustration 28-1 to this rule, "Helicopter Hand Signals."
(G) Communications.
There will be constant
				reliable communication between the pilot and a designated employee of the
				ground crew who acts as a signalman during the period of loading and unloading.
				The signalman will be clearly distinguishable from other ground
				personnel.
(H) Fires.
Open fires are not
				permitted in areas where they could be spread by the rotor
				downwash.
