Risk Assessment
RESTRICTIONS
• Do not use this tool if you have not had an induction (or have not used one before?).
• Do not use if you are alone in the space.
HAZARDS
• Flying material It is possible for broken saw blades or the tips of tungsten tipped blades to be ejected from the machines.
• User injury Human contact with rotating parts can cause cuts or abrasions.
• Tripping Power leads present a tripping hazard and may be damaged, presenting electrical hazards.
• Entanglement Long hair, dangling jewellery or loose clothing can become entangled with moving parts.
• Manual handling “Kick back” can occur under some circumstances
• Dust Fine dust is caused by these machines especially when cutting manufactured boards.
• Strobing Lights The mains lights in the makerspace strobe in a way that is not visible to the human eye but which can make a moving blade appear stationary.
• Electric shock The user could cut through the cable with the jig saw blade, causing electric current to move to ground through the body.
LIKELIHOOD OF RISK
• Flying material Ejection of broken blades is rare, but ejection of the tungsten tips is more common.
• User injury There is a high risk that trainees will put hands or fingers in hazardous places and experienced users may attempt short cuts.
• Tripping Trailing leads present a real risk of tripping and damage.
• Entanglement The risk is minimal if the user wears appropriate clothing and ties hair back.
• Manual handling Handling heavy components or awkward manipulation will not occur frequently but will present a real risk. Novices may have difficulty controlling the tool.
• Dust There would be a significant risk when cutting manufactured board.
• Strobing lights This is a high risk in the makerspace with the mains lighting circuit and the strip lights.
• Electric shock This is likely to occur if the user does not keep the cable out of the way of the workspace.
RISK CONTROL MEASURES
• Care should be taken to ensure trailing leads do not become entangled with the operator
• Use RCD device to stop electric shocks
• Halogen light must be on in the woodworking workshop as this doesn’t strobe and will negate the effects of the other lights strobing.
• Long hair and loose clothing should be tied back
• A damaged cutter should not be used
• Users should not touch the saw blade when tool is switched on
• The blade should be securely fitted to the machine and should only be used on materials specified by the manufacturer
• The blade should be inspected for damage prior to each use.
• Damaged blades should not be used
• Users should be assessed as competent before using the jig saw by undertaking a short induction.
PPE (PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT) RECOMMENDATIONS
• Safety goggles must be worn
• No loose clothing / long sleeves / jewellery
• Long hair must be tied back
• Ear protection recommended
• Dust mask recommended
