The Meat Slicer Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) gives step-by-step guidelines for operating a meat slicer safely, protecting workers from hazards such as electricity, the rotating blade and cleaning chemicals.
It covers precautions and operator training, the pre-operational inspection (blade condition and guards), maintenance under lockout/tagout, safe operation from start-up to shutdown, cleaning, and first aid for minor and severe lacerations.
An employee training and induction register tracks each operator's training and competency.
