The Pneumatic Tools Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) sets out the steps to maintain safety when using pneumatic tools.
It covers the hazards (noise, electricity, moving parts, air under pressure, manual handling and poor housekeeping), the PPE to wear, precautions and operator training, maintenance under LOTO procedures, the pre-operational inspection and the steps to operate the tool.
A hazard checklist for powered non-mobile plant, with Y, N and NA for each item, helps confirm every safety measure is in place.
