Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines safety measures for operating and maintaining hot film laminators. Only authorized personnel trained in the manufacturer's instructions may operate the laminator. Pre-start checks involve connecting the laminator to an earthed, RCD-protected power outlet, inspecting all covers, guards, and power leads for damage, and ensuring adequate working space is available.

Operational precautions include safe handling of laminate rolls, using mechanical aids for transport, and wearing hand and foot protection. During setup, care must be taken to mount and thread rolls correctly to prevent contamination. Operators should avoid contact with hot rollers and use heat-resistant gloves when handling hot materials. Cleaning and maintenance require setting rollers to move away from the operator, avoiding loose clothing, and keeping hands clear of nip points. Following these guidelines ensures safe and effective laminator use.
