Hydraulic Brake Press

The Hydraulic Brake Press Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) is a guide to operating a hydraulic brake press safely.

It identifies the hazards, such as noise, electricity and fluids under pressure, and sets out the PPE to wear, operator training and competency, and a pre-operational inspection covering fluid leaks, guards and emergency stops.

Step-by-step operating instructions run from positioning the worktable to completing the work, followed by maintenance under lockout/tagout (LOTO) and routine checks.

A hazard checklist for powered non-mobile plant confirms safety measures such as guarding and control labelling are in place.
