The Blow Moulding Machine - Plastics Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) sets out guidelines for operating a blow moulding machine safely and efficiently, helping to maintain workplace safety and standards.
It covers the hazards (noise, electricity and moving parts), precautions including operator training and fitting of PPE, the blow moulding process from heating the resin to removing the finished component, and maintenance with lockout/tagout and service records.
It also lists the pre-operational inspection of guards, interlocks and emergency stops, a step-by-step guide to start-up, monitoring, purging and shutdown, and a hazard checklist to assess the equipment.
