The Cylindrical Grinder Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) gives step-by-step instructions for operating a cylindrical grinder safely and efficiently.
It covers the hazards (noise, electricity, moving parts, flying debris, manual handling and poor housekeeping), the pre-operational inspection of guards, drive belt, controls and headstock, operator training, grinding wheels, the manual and motorised table drives, maintenance with lockout/tagout, and what to consider when supporting long workpieces.
A hazard checklist for powered non-mobile plant assesses and records the risks of the equipment used.
