The Concrete Core Drill Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) provides clear instructions for the safe and efficient use of concrete drill equipment.
It covers the hazards (noise, electricity, moving parts and hazardous dust), the PPE to wear, the pre-operational inspection of the drill and drill bits, operator training and competency, preparing the work area, and maintenance under lockout/tagout.
A step-by-step operation sequence takes operators from set-up to shutdown, with guidance on changing drill bits, manual handling and what to do on completion. A hazard checklist for powered non-mobile plant, with Y, N and NA for each item, helps confirm every safety measure is in place.
