Process - safe system of work - machinery maintenance in flammable atmospheres

This document sets out how machinery maintenance in flammable atmospheres should be completed in a safe way.

Clear guidance

This procedure details a series of safe systems of work. It specifies the activities to be undertaken on a step-by-step process.  It also covers the precautions necessary to protect those involved in the work and anyone else who may be affected if things go wrong.

Make it specific

To make it clear who should be supervising the work and who should be completing it, add the names in the appropriate boxes. Explain to staff that if their names are not on the document, they shouldn’t be completing the task. This should stop untrained and unauthorised staff from carrying out the works.
