INTRODUCTION
This SOP covers the milling machine located in the factory
2.
OPERATOR
Only trained, authorised, competent personnel are to operate the milling machine. Records of authorised/competent personnel are maintained on the workshop skills matrix.
3.
PRE-STARTUP SAFETY CHECKS
Before starting work carry out the safety checks to ensure that the milling machine is in safe working order. Report any faults or defects to management ASAP
4.
HEALTH & SAFETY
Before using the Milling machine make yourself aware of the contents of the general risk assessment on display at the machine and comply with the requirements. Ensure that you have the appropriate Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE) e.g. safety glasses, safety footwear, overall, cut resistant gloves etc. It is recommended that ear defenders are worn in the vicinity of noisy machinery. If you require additional or replacement PPE, see management.
5.
MILLING MACHINE OPERATION
Wear chemical resistant gloves and safety glasses when using metal working fluids. Barrier cream should also be used. Ensure all parts of the machine are stationary when the operator needs to be in direct contact with the work piece i.e. during set up and measurement Keep hands away from the moving parts of the machine during operations During cutting operations ensure that all personnel are safe from flying swarf by use of fixed guards Do not lean over the moving tool Use good housekeeping procedures Ensure the work area is free from obstructions, cables, hoses, coolant spills etc.
6.
MILLING MACHINE MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
Machine to be isolated during cleaning and maintenance activities or when changing blade to prevent machine being started accidentally. Lock off at machine isolator prior to maintenance and cleaning (authorised personnel only) Tools e.g. rakes / hooks must be used to remove swarf. Never remove swarf by hand PPE – wear chemical resistant gloves and overalls when clearing swarf / cuttings Electrical / Mechanical maintenance / Servicing to be carried out by authorised personnel / contractors only Ensure housekeeping is good to prevent slips, trips, falls. Dispose of waste into the correct containers / skips
