Label Laminator

Version: 1.0

Updated: 1 December 2024

Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines safety measures for operating and maintaining label laminators. Only trained and authorized personnel may operate the equipment, and operators must follow the manufacturer's instructions and all provided safety precautions. Pre-start checks involve connecting the laminator to a circuit protected by an RCD, testing all controls (including emergency stop buttons), and inspecting components for secure fastening. Operators must wear close-fitting clothing, avoid loose items, and secure long hair and beards.

Operational precautions include lifting and mounting rolls with care to prevent strain injuries and maintaining a clean work area to avoid slips and trips. During setup, sharp edges require caution, and all guards must be replaced before use. Hands must be kept clear of nip points and cutting mechanisms during operation, and only approved tools should be used for maintenance and cleaning. PPE, such as cut-resistant and liquid-proof gloves, is mandatory when handling sharp objects or cleaning with isopropyl alcohol. Adherence to these protocols ensures safety and efficiency in laminator use.
