Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines safety measures for the operation, maintenance, and cleaning of beam saws. Only trained and authorized personnel may operate the equipment, and the saw should only be used for its intended materials. Key precautions include isolating and locking out the power before maintenance, using proper tools for blade replacement, and adhering to safe practices to minimize exposure to dust, noise, and moving parts.

Personal protective equipment (PPE) such as cut-resistant gloves, eye and hearing protection, and particulate dust masks are mandatory during operation and maintenance. The procedure also emphasizes the importance of proper manual handling techniques, using mechanical aids for heavy materials, and ensuring the dust collection system is operational during cutting. Following these guidelines helps mitigate risks of injury, dust exposure, and equipment damage.
