Can others advise please their policy on the use of compressed air by engineers to assist in cleaning up after invasive maintenance (eg drilling, tap and die and other activities that generate or may generate fragments of foreign matter). This is for machinery that produces final product, and it does have a metal detector.My preference is vacuum and lint free cloth moistened with alcohol to wipe, followed by visual inspection and signoff. My concern is that the use of compressed air to blow the surface down is a dispersive method, and may even blow the material onto another line. Engineers have the view that getting swarf etc out of nooks and crannies is impossible without it.
