  • Version 3

The 3D Printer Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) is a guide for businesses that want to keep operators safe and compliant when using 3D printers. It sets out a step-by-step process to help operators manage risks.

It covers the hazards (noise, ultrafine particle inhalation, VOCs and hot objects), the PPE to wear, operator training, the pre-operational inspection, safe operation including emergency stops and authorised accessories, waste disposal and maintenance under LOTO.

A hazard checklist for powered non-mobile plant, with Y, N and NA for each item, helps confirm every safety measure is in place.
