HVAC and Sheet Metal Work
US & Canada HVAC Mechanical
Why it matters
Sheet metal edges, rooftop units, and refrigerants each bring their own injury pattern.
Key points
- Cut-resistant gloves for all duct handling - edges are blades.
- Rooftop work: fall protection to and around units, not just at the edge.
- Refrigerants displace oxygen in mechanical rooms - ventilate and monitor.
- Lifting coils and units: rig to manufacturer points, never the piping.
- Grind or file sharp edges before passing duct to the next worker.
Discussion
