therefore be present in the workspace? Vibration Is the normal operation of this likely to create severe or excess vibration that could be transferable to the operator? Lighting Is insufficient lighting to operate this plant in a safe manner? Is there a possible strobe lighting effect caused by faulty fluorescent tubes in the workspace? Ducted dust extraction systems and fitted dust collection bags on all sanders are connected and operational, fully maintained and cleaned as required. Good lighting is provided to all workspaces and this is maintained on a regular basis. Fluorescent tubes are checked and replaced as required. All approved personal protective equipment (PPE) is used where required. Electrical: Can the operator be injured by electrical shock due to working near or contacting with damaged or poorly maintained live electrical conductors such as power outlets, extension leads, safety switches, starters and isolators or casual water on the floor near plant and machinery? Visual checks are made of all portable power tools, their electrical switches, plugs and power leads, etc. Electrical safety inspections, testing and tagging, etc. are completed regularly as per guidelines for all portable power tools. Portable power tools are to be used only where there is a RCD safety trip switch connected. Warning “Danger” tags (or similar) are affixed to all portable power tools under repair or maintenance preventing workers from using them. Electrical maintenance on all portable power tools is documented. Exposure: Friction Is the likely to generate heat by friction? Could the plant operator accidentally Portable tools, including all sanders, are regularly inspected and maintained to help minimise the risk of exposures to these hazards. All portable power tools maintenance is documented.
Monitoring and Review This Plant and Equipment Risk Assessment is to be monitored and reviewed annually for a further four (4) years. Review 1: Yes No Are allocated risk levels and “Actions required” unchanged over the past 12 months? Are Minimum Standards and Recommended Control Measures unchanged over 12 months?
