Safe Work Procedures | SWP's

Safe Work Procedures (SWPs), are 'information for use' which include Safe Operating Procedures (SOPs) and Safe Work Instructions (SWIs). These play a crucial role in providing guidance for the safe use of industrial machinery. They ensure that workers follow standardised, agreed protocols to maintain safety and prevent accidents. SWPs outline step-by-step instructions, precautions, and best practices, emphasizing the importance of adhering to safety guidelines during equipment operation.

The creation of Safe Work Procedures (SWPs) should align with the hazard identification and risk assessment process for machinery. This ensures that critical details, including any residual risks, are explicitly outlined in the SWP. By following this approach, workers can access essential safety information and adhere to standardised protocols during machinery operation.

The SWP should be readily accessible, easily identified and displayed close to the area where the activity is being conducted.

We have found that many businesses are limited in available in-house resources to collate and publish their information for use for their industrial manufacturing or workshop machinery. Subdequently ISAAC offers services (within the state of Victoria, Australia) to assist guide, facilitate, collate, publish, install and train personnel with regard to safe work procedures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Periodic Inspection of Safety Related Parts of Machine Control Systems

Persons conducting a business or undertaking have obligations under Occupational Health and Safety legislation to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, workers and other people are not exposed to health and safety risks arising from the business or undertaking. The inspection, testing and maintenance of plant, where required, is recognised as an important part of meeting this obligation.

 

Details of observations during inspection, and the nature of failures are essential for planning for general maintenance, repair work and finding the cause of unusual failures. Periodic inspections of the safety controls of industrial manufacturing and workshop machinery should be undertaken by a person who is competent to do so. A competent person is a person who has acquired through training, qualification or experience the knowledge and skills to carry out the task.

 

Inspections should as a minimum cover the safety critical equipment including machine guarding, interlocks and all aspects of the safety related parts of the control systems. Inspecting, testing, maintaining and repairing should be done in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. If these are not available or if the recommendations are found to be inadequate, then they should be reviewed and developed by a competent person in line with the guidance of relevant codes of practice and standards.

 

ISAAC offer services within the state of Victoria, Australia to assist businesses with the development, on-site undertaking and recording of periodic inspections of industrial manufacturing and workshop machinery safety controls.
