Lathe

SOP · SOP-60118

  • Version 4

The Lathe Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) helps your business set out safe practices for operating a metal-turning lathe, from the hazards and precautions to step-by-step operation.

It covers the hazards (noise, electricity, moving parts, flying swarf, manual handling and poor housekeeping), the PPE to wear, chuck selection and use, operator training and competency, and maintenance under lockout/tagout procedures.

It also gives a pre-operational inspection of the lathe, including emergency stops and guarding, guidance for working around the headstock and polishing with emery cloth, and a hazard checklist for powered non-mobile plant.
