OSHA REQUIRES THAT BLAST POTS USE A REMOTE CONTROL TO START AND STOP (DEADMAN) THESE INCREASE OPERATOR SAFETY BECAUSE USUALLY 2 ACTIONS ARE REQUIRED FOR THE BLAST OPERATION TO START AND A MAINTAINED GRIP ON THE
DEADMAN CONTINUES THE BLAST. IF THE BLASTER DOES NOT MAINTAIN GRIP ON DEADMAN, THE BLASTING OPERATION STOPS.
