The Surface Grinder Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) outlines the steps for safe and efficient use of a surface grinder, helping workers manage the associated risks.

It covers the hazards (noise, electricity, rotating and moving objects, sharp edges, sparks, manual handling and poor housekeeping), the PPE to wear, operator training and competency, the pre-operational inspection and the grinding wheel checks, and maintenance under lockout/tagout.

The step-by-step operation runs from choosing and fitting the grinding wheel to achieving the surface finish, followed by shutdown and cleaning. A hazard checklist for powered non-mobile plant, with Y, N and NA for each item, confirms the safety measures are in place.
