(1) If an oil swab, scale brush, or other device is required to remove scale, it shall be long enough to enable the employee to perform the job without placing his hands within the point of operation.

(2) Tongs shall be of sufficient length to clear the body of the worker in case of kickback, and shall not have sharp handle ends. The worker should be instructed in the proper body position when using tongs. Tongs should be checked periodically to see that they remain at the proper hardness level for the job. When rings or equivalent devices for locking tongs are used, they should be inspected periodically to ensure safe condition.
