The Rotary Tool Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) gives your business a clear, step-by-step guide to using a cordless rotary tool safely and managing its hazards.

It covers the hazards (noise, electricity, moving parts, sparks, hot objects, manual handling and poor housekeeping), the PPE to wear, operator training, a pre-operational inspection, maintenance, the operation steps, the work area and battery charging, and a hazard checklist.

A training quiz comes with the procedure to reinforce learning and check worker understanding.
