Let’s all
TRACK SAWING get home safely,
every day

A pre start inspection of the saw must be undertaken by a trained and competent operative with any faults reported immediately. Ensure that there are
no, visible signs of damage or faults to electrical cables, plugs or components and that all blades and guards are in good working order.

The guard must be suitably adjusted and configured to provide
maximum protect at all times.
Dust suppression (water
or extraction) must be
employed for all cuts. Permit
Permits
To Work All works must be undertaken under
to Work
a permit to work considering
potential services, structural stability
and any potential temporary works
requirements.

Hearing protection must be worn and sufficient signage erected
to warn others.

Cable management standards must be maintained at all times,
ensuring they do not cross the line of cut or present a potential
trip hazard.

An exclusion zone must be established ensuring no unauthorised
operatives can enter the works area. The operator must remain
a minimum distance of 1.5m away from the saw. Prior to
approaching the saw it must be fully stopped and isolated, via
the emergency stop on both the pack and remote units.
Stop ends must be installed to prevent saw overrun.
NO operative is to stand in the line of the cut
