Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines safety guidelines for operating and maintaining concrete floats and trowels. Only trained and authorized personnel may operate these machines. Pre-start checks include inspecting electrical components, safety switches, guards, and fuel systems to ensure safe operation. Workers must also verify that work areas are clear of obstacles and have sufficient lighting and ventilation.

During operation, operators should wear appropriate PPE, such as gloves, safety footwear, and hearing protection. Machine handling requires maintaining a secure grip, proper posture, and ensuring surfaces are free of loose objects. Maintenance tasks include cleaning the machine to prevent concrete buildup and checking blade conditions. Workers must use dust control measures, such as wet cleaning, to avoid inhaling concrete dust. These procedures ensure safe operation and minimize risks of injury and equipment damage.
