Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines the safe operation and maintenance of CO2 laser cutting machines. Only trained and authorized personnel may operate the equipment, and safety interlocks must be installed on all access points to the machine. Pre-start checks include inspecting power supply, controls, and gas connections for damage or leaks, ensuring work areas are clear of debris, and periodically testing emergency stop buttons.

Setup and operation precautions include adhering to manufacturer-recommended settings for cutting speed, voltage, and gas flow. Workers must wear appropriate PPE, such as gloves, long-sleeved clothing, and eye protection, to protect against burns, spatter, and harmful light exposure. Maintenance and repairs must follow the manufacturer’s guidelines, using compatible replacement parts and ensuring the machine is locked out before any work. These measures ensure safety and prevent operational hazards.
