The Commercial Mixing Machine Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) is a guide to operating a commercial mixing machine safely, so that workers are well informed and risks are managed.
It covers the hazards (electricity, cleaning chemicals, moving parts, manual handling and poor housekeeping), the PPE to wear, a pre-operational inspection of the machine and work area, operator training and competency, maintenance under lockout/tagout, step-by-step operation and cleaning.
A hazard checklist for powered non-mobile plant, with Y, N and NA for each item, helps confirm every safety measure is in place.
