Updated: 1 December 2024

Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines safety guidelines for operating and maintaining demolition saws. Only trained and authorized personnel are permitted to use the equipment. Pre-start checks involve inspecting screws, bolts, controls, guards, and blades for damage or wear, and ensuring proper functionality of safety features. Faulty or worn components must be repaired or replaced before use.

During operation, workers must wear PPE, including hearing and eye protection, gloves, and dust masks to guard against noise, debris, and silica dust from cutting. Wet cutting is recommended to minimize dust exposure. Hands should remain clear of moving blades, and the saw must be held with both hands at all times. Maintenance includes cleaning components, inspecting blades for compatibility, and storing the equipment safely. These protocols ensure safe usage and mitigate risks associated with demolition saws.
