Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines safety measures for using a demolition hammer. General precautions include inspecting and tagging tools before use, connecting to RCD-protected circuits, and ensuring all electrical installations are disconnected and certified safe. Pre-start checks involve inspecting the casing, plug, and chuck for damage and verifying the secure attachment of handles and other components.

During operation, operators must maintain a comfortable posture, avoid bending unnecessarily, and use appropriate support for large tools. Dust control measures, such as wearing a P1 particulate mask, are mandatory to prevent inhalation of harmful particles. Proper PPE, including eye and hearing protection, gloves, and safety footwear, is required. Cleaning and maintenance involve storing tools in a dry, safe environment and removing contaminants from tool components. Adherence to these guidelines ensures worker safety and efficient tool operation.
