Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines the safe operation and maintenance of concrete mixers. General precautions include ensuring guards are fitted over all moving parts, inspecting electric mixers quarterly, and using circuits protected by RCDs or safety switches. Refueling petrol mixers must occur only after cooling and away from ignition sources. Power leads should be kept off the ground and out of water.

Operational guidelines emphasize positioning the mixer on level surfaces, minimizing overexertion, and keeping hands away from moving parts. Mixing should follow the correct sequence of adding materials and avoiding overloading. Cleaning must occur immediately after use to prevent concrete setting, and environmental safety should be observed. Transport precautions involve securing the mixer to prevent movement during travel, avoiding tying down by movable parts. These practices ensure safe use and extend equipment life.
