SOP Chipping Hammer
Workplace Safety has conducted a comprehensive job safety analysis for chipping hammers and their uses, e.g. operation of chipping hammer and how to change chipping hammer bits with risk control measures developed for identified hazards per WHS hierarchy of controls.
WHS consultation with employees on health and safety matters to identify potential hazards with operating a chipping hammer and ensure electrical hand tool safety
WHS consultation and participation processes ensure adequate health and safety communication
Pre-operational inspection of chipping hammer per electrical tools inspection checklist, e.g. how to check tools and equipment are free from damage such as damaged electrical cords
Damaged tools and equipment shall have an out of service tag placed on it with procedures for reporting faulty equipment in the workplace implemented
Chipping hammer guard must be fitted to a chipping hammer for protection from an exposed nip point
Do not alter or modify a chipping hammer, e.g. chipping hammer handle removal will affect tool safety
Inspect chipping hammer chisels for signs of wear and damage per tool safety checklist, replace if necessary and dispose of used chipping hammer bits appropriately
Chipping hammer operation per chipping hammer SOP focuses on chipping hammer control measures to reduce the level of risk
Personal decontamination procedures to be implemented where exposure to silica has taken place, e.g. correct method for removing PPE
Workplace environmental hazards, e.g. confined space and working at heights
Working at height on ladders, aluminium mobile scaffold and elevated work platforms when operating a chipping hammer
Hazardous chemicals and hazardous products used in connection with operating a chipping hammer
