This planned Preventative Maintenance check sheet captures the minimum health and safety control measures that must be in place before, during or after the PPM activity. It is the responsibility of the person/s carrying out the PPM to ensure all control measures are in place and the job is safe to proceed with. Any concerns the engineer completing the PPM must notify the factory or production manager and advise on action required.
Hazards - The following hazards have been identified
-
Slips, trips, falls - slip on spillages, trip over objects , Fall from height - use of portable steps to access the cylinder linkage, Sharpe objects - when checking / removing / replacing knife, General hand tools, Manual handling - lifting and placing the cylinder linkage guard, dangerous Moving Parts - risk if entrapment / entanglement, Eye or skin irritation - use of spray grease , Lone working
Control measures
Personal Protective Equipment - Mandatory requirements
-
Cut resistant level '5' gloves - used for blade checking, removing, replacing knives

Cylinder linkage guard - once removed place in a safe area to prevent trips or obstruction.
-
Keep in regular contact with other engineers on site
-
All fixed guards must be placed back into position and fixings secured and equipment made safe BEFORE isolations are removed and compressed air is re-connected
-
All tools, equipment to be removed from the area prior to handover to production. Clean up any spillages in the area. Complete PPM paper work
Point of work Risk Assessment - any tasks or additional hazards that are not covered in the PPM a dynamic risk assessment must be completed
