1). Development of proper risk assessment and implimenting the control

measures

2) Discouraging risky behaiour and playing

3). Only authorized & competent personnels must be allowed to carry
–Operator –Labour Public D4 out the job.

4). Conduct, HSE Inductions, Toolbox meeting and review the JSA to all
personnel invovled in the work activities
5). Responsible person will conduct inspection,
monitor the work activities and ensure that safety standards and
procedures are strictly followed

1). Ensure machine guards are in place and properly fitted

2). Proper use of guards

3). Inspect the grinding disc prior to starting work

–Operator –Labour Public D4 4). Use of proper PPE

5). Correct installation of grinder wheel

6). Only experienced personnel to use the equipment

7). Wear face shield / safety glasses while grinding

 1) Toolbox meeting to be done before undergoing the task.

2). Adequate supervision of task

–Operator –Labour Public D2 3). Provision and usage of suitable PPE such as hand gloves by all
personnels involved in the task
4). Do not attempt to carry any load above your capacity and always ask
for assistance
5). Only competent workers should be assigned with the task

1).Ensure uncoiled hoses will not be a tripping hazard. Ensure there are
no kinks, cracks or damage to hoses. Ensure all torch valves are closed
–Operator –Labour Public D3 and inspect for possible leaks.
2). Ensure adjustment screws on regulators are
backed off so no tension is present for both acetylene and oxygen.

1). Proper supervision of the task

2). Do not weld near flammable materials (3)Use lock out/tag out when
–Operator –Labour Public D4 welding near electrical devices (4) Use welding curtain to shield other
