Multi-Tip:
A Hazard and Risk Assessment must be undertaken before
the machine is used for the first time, taking into account all
relevant factors such as the area it will be used, the skill and
training of operators, the proximity of other persons, frequency of
use, etc.
All appropriate steps must be taken to eliminate, isolate, or
minimise hazards to the operator and to all other persons on site.
These steps may include some or all of the following:
Training of operators
Testing and recording that operators are ‘trained’
Implementing Standard Operating Procedures and ensuring
they are followed
Posting additional signage, floor marking, or other warnings
as deemed appropriate
The
Multi-Tip
has been designed to be as safe as possible
without restricting the ease-of-use and versatility of the machine.
As with all powered industrial equipment, some hazards will be
present despite all the safety measures implemented by the
manufacturer.
It is the responsibility of the owner and the operators to identify
remaining hazards and to put in place and follow procedures to
ensure the safety of all persons in the vicinity of the machine.
