Best Answer

A dead man control is a switch that is held in one hand, and which is activated if you stop holding it (when you are no longer pressing on the switch). If you were to suddenly die (or lose consciousness) you would necessarily lose your grip on the switch. This is a useful precaution for sandblasting because the sandblaster is a very powerful device, which could do tremendous harm if it were to point in the wrong direction. So, since it is possible that you might have a heart attack, a stroke, an epileptic seizure or some other medical problem while sandblasting, if you use a dead man switch, you can set it to turn off the sandblaster if you release the switch, which will protect people in your vicinity if you do suffer any loss of consciousness while sandblasting.
