Facilitates the creation of custom metal components and designs.
Improves the efficiency and precision of metalworking processes.
Typical hazards & measures
Improper use of tools
— Provide regular training on the correct use of tools, including specific instructions for power tools. Conduct periodic inspections to identify and remove faulty tools, and enforce the use of PPE, such as gloves and goggles, when handling tools. Display clear tool operation guidelines at workstations.
Exposure to metal fumes
— Use welding processes that generate less fume and ensure effective fume extraction systems are in place. Provide appropriate RPE and conduct health surveillance for early detection of related illnesses.
Failure of lifting equipment
— Conduct routine inspections and certification of lifting equipment. Train workers on safe lifting techniques and load limits. Ensure proper storage and maintenance of slings, hooks, and cranes.
Hot work on closed containers
— Ensure all containers are properly cleaned and vented before hot work. Check for flammable residues and test for explosive atmospheres. Provide hot work permits and train workers on the risks associated with closed containers.
Noise-induced hearing loss
— Conduct noise assessments and provide hearing protection such as earplugs or earmuffs. Implement engineering controls to reduce noise at the source and schedule regular hearing tests for workers.
