Q: OSHA states that an air gun must be under 30 psi to be compliant. So do I need to set my compressed air line to 30 psi in order to be OSHA compliant?
A: No. OSHA regulation states that the air gun must not omit more than 30 psi at the tip of the air gun when blocked.
OSHA compliant air guns in the market have specially designed nozzles that produce an output of over 100 psi in most cases to give the power needed to get the job done, but yet when blocked there would not be more than 30 psi at tip.
