Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines safety measures for operating and maintaining wide-format laminators. Only trained and authorized personnel may operate the laminator, adhering to manufacturer instructions. Pre-start checks include connecting the laminator to an RCD-protected power outlet, ensuring all guards and covers are in place, and inspecting power leads for damage.

Operational precautions emphasize careful handling of laminate rolls to avoid overexertion, using mechanical aids when necessary, and keeping hands clear of nip points during setup and operation. For thermal systems, heated rollers can reach 160°C; users must wear heat-resistant gloves and avoid contact with hot surfaces. Cleaning and maintenance must follow manufacturer guidelines, with rollers cleaned while hot and moving away from the operator. PPE, including hand and foot protection, is mandatory, and loose clothing, jewelry, and long hair must be secured. Following these protocols ensures safety and effective use of wide-format laminators.
