Handheld Circular Saw

SOP · SOP-60075

  • Version 4

The Handheld Circular Saw Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) provides a structured approach to operating handheld circular saws so that workers are well-informed and risks are minimised.

It covers the hazards (noise, electricity and moving parts), precautions including operator training and workplace induction, the pre-operational inspection, maintenance with LOTO procedures, the operating steps from setting blade depth to safe storage, and kickback.

A hazard checklist for powered non-mobile plant is included, so safety measures can be checked before operation.
