Abrasive Blasting Cabinet

The Abrasive Blasting Cabinet Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) is your guide to maintaining safety and efficiency when using abrasive blasting cabinets. It provides a framework for safe operations, so your team is well-prepared.

It identifies the hazards, such as hot objects, dust and hazardous chemicals, lists the personal protective equipment to wear, and sets out a pre-operational inspection so the cabinet is ready and safe, along with the training and competency operators need to handle it safely.

Step-by-step instructions cover the compressed air supply, media selection and the cabinet's operation from start to finish, with maintenance under LOTO procedures and guidelines for cleaning the cabinet and preventing media contamination.

A hazard checklist for powered non-mobile plant, with Y, N and NA for each item, lists the safety measures to confirm.
