Working with Guarded Machinery

SOPVersion 1

This Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) outlines the guidelines for working around machinery that has or should have guarding to protect workers from injury or harm. The SOP is designed to ensure that all workers understand the hazards associated with machinery and follow the proper safety procedures when working with or near them.

Training

Workers who work with or near machinery should receive training on the hazards associated with the machinery and the proper safety procedures to follow when working with or near them. The training should cover the specific hazards associated with each type of machinery used in the workplace and the steps to take in an emergency. Training should be provided before the worker begins work with the machinery and should be refreshed periodically.
