ISK ASSESSMENT CHECKLIST BEFORE SET
-
UP
Before set-up

I took note of all the warning labels on the machine.

I removed or mitigated all identified risks (such as tripping, cutting, crushing, entan-
glement, shearing, or falling objects).

I considered the need for personnel safety guarding and installed any necessary
guards.

I read the machine assembly instructions (Section 3.2) and took inventory of all the
items required but not supplied (Section 2.5).

I created a lift plan, including identifying the proper rigging, for each of the setup
lifts required during the setup of the support structure and machine.

I located the potential fall paths in lifting and rigging operations. I have taken pre-
cautions to keep workers away from the identified fall paths.

I considered how this machine operates and identified the best placement for the
controls, cabling, and the operator.

ISK ASSESSMENT CHECKLIST AFTER SET
-
UP
After set-up

I checked that the machine is safely installed (according to Section 3.2) and the
potential fall path is clear. If the machine is installed at an elevated position, I
checked that the machine is safeguarded against falling.

I identified all possible pinch points, such as those caused by rotating parts, and
informed the affected personnel.

I planned for containment of any chips or swarf produced by the machine.

I followed the required maintenance checklist (Section 5.1) with the recommended
lubricants (Section 5.2).

I checked that all affected personnel have the recommended personal protective
equipment, as well as any site-required or regulatory equipment.

I checked that all affected personnel understand and are clear of the danger zone.
I understand that leaving the workspace with the machine running and unattended
may cause personnel injury and machine or workpiece damage.

I evaluated and mitigated any other potential risks specific to my work area.
