    The document identifies potential risks from grinding such as eye injuries, burns, vibration white fingers, slips/trips/falls and overexposure to fumes. It provides precautions to control each of these risks like use of protective equipment, isolation of hazards, good housekeeping and restricted access.

    Potential risks identified include particles in the eye, major burns/grazing, vibration white fingers, slips/trips/falls, fire or explosion and overexposure to fumes.

    Precautions that should be taken include mandatory use of eye protection, screens around the operator, permit to work requirements, toolbox talks, two-handed control, use of gloves and breaks, securing cables and ensuring good housekeeping.

    JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS AND CONTROL PROGRAMME

    GENERAL

    NOTE:

    THESE ASSESSMENTS HAVE BEEN COMPILED TO IDENTIFY THE POTENTIAL RISKS AND THE
    PRECAUTIONS REQUIRED TO ELIMINATE, REDUCE OR ADEQUATELY CONTROL THEM.
    ASSESSMENTS ARE TO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH JOBCARDS AND METHOD STATEMENTS.

    TITLE: GRINDING

    POTENTIAL RISK: PARTICLES IN THE EYE

    1. THIS IS A COMMON INJURY WITHIN THE ENGINEERING CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY AND MUST BE
    STRICTLY CONTROLLED
    2. AT ALL TIMES, IT MUST BE REMEMBERED THAT THE EYE IS NOT ONLY IRREPLACEABLE BUT IS ALSO
    THE SOFTEST POINT OF ENTRY TO THE BRAIN.

    PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN:

    flame retardant tarpaulins.
    4. Permit to work requirements shall be strictly adhered to at all times.

    POTENTIAL RISK: MAJOR BURNS/GRAZING

    1. GRAZING TYPE BURNS ARE NOT UNCOMMON. THIS IS GENERALLY CAUSED BY KICKBACK OR
    MOMENTARY LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE GRINDER BY THE OPERATOR.

    PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN:

    1. Toolbox talks are an effective method of “RAISINFG THE INDIVIDUAL’S AWARENESS” to hazards of
    grinding.
    2. Personnel shall maintain a two handed control of the grinder at all times.

    POTENTIAL RISK: VIBRATION WHITE FINGERS

    1. LOSS OF BLOOD CIRCULATION IN FINGERS CREATING PERMANENT NUMBNESS, INCURABLE ONCE


    CONTRACTED.
    2. CONTRACTED BY LONG PERIODS OF USING VIBRATING EQUIPMENT

    PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN:

    1. Full personal protective equipment to be used at all times. (i.e. gloves.) Natural breaks to be taken as and
    when required.
    2. This hazards shall be identified at the toolbox talks stage

    POTENTIAL RISK: SLIPS, TRIPS AND FALLS


    1. EXTENSION LEADS TRAILING AROUND WORKSITES CAUSE TRIPPING HAZARDS WITH SERIOUS
    POTENTIAL INJURY

    PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN:

    1. Ensure good housekeeping at all times.


    2. Cables shall be tied / secured overhead to remove the hazard.
    3. If cables must run across the floor, then they shall be secured or covered to prevent personnel from
    tripping or highlighted with barrier tape.

    POTENTIAL RISK: FIRE OR EXPLOSION.

    1. CAN OCCUR BY THE IGNITION OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS OR BY GRINDING IN GAS ENRICHED


    ATMOSPHERES.

    PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN:

    1. Good housekeeping shall be maintained both before and during all works activities.
    2. Fire blanket shall e used to protect equipment and other personnel
    3. Fire Extinguisher shall be on hand at all times or fire hose reel in place
    4. Firewatcher shall be present during all hot work activities.
    5. Flame retardant coveralls shall be worn at all times
    6. Atmosphere shall be tested for gas prior to work commencement
    7. Personnel shall ensure that they can isolate their equipment and tools. Etc within a suitable time. i.e. five
    seconds, if not then equipment shall be repositioned.

    POTENTIAL RISK: OVEREXPOSURE TO FUMES

    1. CAUSED BY GRINDING EXOTIC MATERIALS SUCH AS CUNIFER, NICKEL, ETC. OR BY USING GRINDING
    METHODS TO REMOVE COATINGS AND PAINT, WHICH MAY CONTAIN TOXIC MATERIALS SUCH AS LEAD
    OR ISOCYANATES

    PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN:

    1. Personnel shall use localized (filtered) fume extraction during paint removal operations or when grinding
    exotic materials.
    2. Operators shall ensure that they wear suitable respiratory protective equipment. i.e. air fed face shield.
    3. Personnel immediate vicinity of work shall wear martindale masks.
    4. Where necessary the work area shall be enclosed to protect other workers and/or barrier erected around
    the work area to prevent access.
