Road Saw

The Road Saw safe operating procedure gives operators step-by-step instructions to manage the risks of using a road saw, from the hazards and precautions through to operation and maintenance.

It covers the pre-operational inspection of the blade, shaft and guards, the PPE operators wear, safe fuelling, setting up the worksite and making each cut, and the crystalline silica risk from cutting dust.

A hazard checklist confirms the safety measures are in place, such as guard security and the risk assessment. The procedure can be added to an existing management system and used to train operators.
