  • Version 4

The Waterjet Cutter Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) is designed to help businesses implement safe practices when using a waterjet cutter.

It covers the hazards (noise, electricity and high-pressure water), the PPE to wear, operator training, a pre-operational inspection, step-by-step operation, shut down, maintenance including LOTO, and a hazard checklist for powered non-mobile plant.

It can be added to your existing management system and used to help ensure workers are adequately trained.
