INTRODUCTION
This SOP covers the Vertical Borer located in the factory 2.
OPERATOR
Only trained, authorised, competent personnel are to operate the borers. Records of authorised/competent personnel are maintained on the workshop skills matrix. 3.
PRE-START SAFETY CHECKS
Before starting work carry out the safety checks to ensure that the Vertical Borer is in safe working order. Report any faults or defects to management ASAP 4.
