Version: 1.0

Updated: 1 December 2024

Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines safety measures for operating, maintaining, and cleaning mobile dust collectors. Pre-operation checks include ensuring all guards are fitted to moving parts, inspecting ductwork and collector pipes for secure connections, and using locking castors or chocks to prevent movement during use. Work areas must remain clear of trip hazards like leads or tubing.

Operational precautions emphasize managing noise levels with soundproof enclosures and wearing hearing protection if noise exceeds safe limits. Filters and collector bags must be inspected for leaks or damage. Cleaning tasks require switching off and unplugging the unit, dislodging dust from filters, and emptying collector bags carefully to prevent spillage. Proper PPE, such as a P1 dust mask and eye protection, must be worn during cleaning and maintenance. Adhering to these procedures minimizes hazards and ensures efficient dust collector operation.
