Plasma Cutter

SOP · SOP-60020

  • Version 4

The Plasma Cutter Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) provides a framework for safe and efficient operation when using a plasma cutter.

It covers the hazards (noise, electricity, fire and explosion, radiation, hazardous chemicals and toxic atmosphere), the PPE to wear, signage, operator training and competency, and a pre-operational inspection of the machine and workpiece.

Step-by-step instructions cover setting up, selecting the cutting amperage and cutting, followed by maintenance under lockout/tagout, shutting down and tidying the work area. A hazard checklist for powered non-mobile plant helps identify and mitigate hazards.
