Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines safety measures for operating and maintaining concrete saws. Only trained and authorized personnel may use the equipment, and water should be used during cutting to minimize silica dust exposure. Pre-start checks include inspecting the blade and ensuring all controls, guards, and moving parts are operational and secure. Faulty equipment must not be used.

Operational precautions involve wearing PPE such as hearing and eye protection, gloves, and P1 dust masks. Wet cutting is recommended to reduce dust, and the saw should be used at appropriate heights with stable footing. Maintenance requires disconnecting power, cleaning components, and verifying blade compatibility. Warning signs and barriers must be used to prevent unauthorized entry into work areas, ensuring a safe environment.
