|Electricity hazards.
Noise
Ventilation
Who/ what may What is the rate level What risk control action need to be taken
be haremed
(what need to be considered so that the risk are identified and effectively controlled)
(Specific Person) Rate risk as Low, Medium or High Time frame
Participiants work permit
operators severity of risk( s)-3 Competent operators
Spectators Likely hood of risk(L)-2 Ensure grinding disk and guard are not damged.
Staff Overall risk ( S*L) = 6 Ensure power code and motor are not damged
High Safety goggle , footwear and hearing protection to be
Worn while in a operation
No loose cloths. Every hire
Keep other people from workarea and erect barricade or screen
is necessarry
Make sure work piece is secure.
Grinder to be switched off before setting aside and immeadiately
when blade jams.
Make sure fingers, hands and power code are well clear on grinding
wheel.
Always use two hands while unit is operating.
Provide the handle(Maintain a firm grip with handle on the unit without excessive force.)
Participiants
severity of risk( s)-3 Switch off the unit before atempting to torch grinding wheel.
Likely hood of risk(L)-2 Do not touch wrokface that has just been worked off.
Overall risk ( S*L) = 6 Unit to be switched off when there is a grinding wheel jam. Every hire
High keep other people form the work area.
Stop other person from operating the unit.
Firm footwear to be worn and care taken to prevent slips and trips.
Always use safety gloves to prevent burns and injuries.
Unit to be allowed to cool down before carrying out any adjuctmnets.
Participiants
operators severity of risk( s)-3 Ensure there is any safety overload device in the power circuit. Every hire
Spectators Likely hood of risk(L)-2 Make sure power code doest not tangle with grinding machine.
Staff Overall risk ( S*L) = 6 Ensure the machinery is regularly serviced , testes and tagged.
High Operators to be check machine for lead, motor or grinding wheel
damage
Participiants
operators severity of risk( s)-2 Operators and spectators should wear the hearing protection like earplug/ear
Spectators Likely hood of risk(L)-2 muffler
Staff Overall risk ( S*L) = 4
Medium
Participiants
operators Likely hood of risk(L)-2 should be provide the appropriate ventilation Every hire
Spectators Overall risk ( S*L) = 4
Staff Medium
Entanglemnt operators
Can any one's hair, clothing ,gloves severity of risk( s)-3 Ensure loose cloths , hair jewelary gloves and rags is kept clear of moving Every hire
Likely hood of risk(L)-2 parts when in use
Rags or oher materils become entangle Overall risk ( S*L) = 6 1.Apron can restrict loose cloths
with moving patrs. High 2. Hair ties or hair net can use for long hair
4.Jewelarry and accesoris are not worn when operating equipmnts.
Ensure operators hand and body kept away from the runnig machines.
Avoid execssive force on machines
Impact and cut injury operators
Can anyone be crushedlcut/stuck etc. due to Never put the grinder down until the wheel is fully stopped. Every hire
1. Un controlled and unexpectd movemnets. severity of risk( s)-3 Take frequent brakes to reast arms and hands.

Likely hood of risk(L)-2 kick back is a sudden reaction to pinched, bound or misaligned wheel causing an uncontrolled
2.contact with oving parts. cut-Off tool to lift up and out of work piece toward the operator. Leads to human injury
3.High speed flying particles, from the grinding wheel
Overall risk ( S*L) = 6
itself
4. Due to kick back. High
5 .Usage of inappropriate and unsuitable parts.
Ergonomics operators
can anyone injures to due to: severity of risk( s)-2 Ensure the working platforms are in a good manner Every hire
1.poor work area and platforms. Likely hood of risk(L)-2 Take appropriate intervals between the activity.
2.Repetitive body movements. Overall risk ( S*L) = 4
3. constrained body posture. Medium
Vibrations
Take regular brake from continioues operation.
1.operator can injured or suffered ill-helath from operators severity of risk( s)-2 Wear apprpriate Ppes ( eg: gloves) Every hire
2.exposure from vibration Likely hood of risk(L)-2 Conduct the periodic inspection for smoother and less vibration
Overall risk ( S*L) = 4
Medium

Slips/Trips/Falls. Every hire

1.Can anyone injured due to
Ensure appropriate cleaing and proper house keeping practices are maintainted
2.Uneven, slippery or steep work place. severity of risk( s)-3 to minimise the risk of slip , trip ,fall
3.poor house keeping. Likely hood of risk(L)-2
4.0bstacles being place in the vicinity of work area. Overall risk ( S*L) = 6
5.lack of gurd rails and other edge protections. High
6.poorly maintained walk way with insufficient light
7.Inappropriate placement of electric code.
