Compressors are in frequent use on construction sites, and due to their
inherent potential danger, guidelines for their safe use have been established
by OSHA. These guidelines govern the standard operating procedures of
supervisors and workers alike, and where they are violated, accidents
can occur. They may also take place as a result of malfunctioning or inadequately
maintained compressors.
