Product Overview

This risk assessment covers engraving work from planning and setup through equipment use, material handling, cleaning and completion. It supports planning and risk management for moving parts, electrical hazards, airborne contaminants, fragments, noise, heat and work-area conditions.

Activities & Risks Covered

This assessment addresses activities and risks including:

Plan engraving work, select an appropriate method and set up the work area
Inspect engraving equipment, guards and interlocks before use
Manage electrical equipment and electrical work-area hazards
Secure, lift, hold and reposition workpieces
Control dust, fumes, vapours and other airborne contaminants
Manage flying particles, fragments and eye or face exposure
Consider noise, communication and vibration during engraving work
Manage heat, fire sources, chemicals, inks, coatings and coolants
Clean work areas, remove waste and complete post-task checks

Who is this for?

For contractors, workers, supervisors and businesses carrying out engraving activities.

Activities & Hazards Covered

Activity	Potential Hazards
Planning and work area setup	Incorrect engraving method selected for the material, creating avoidable dust, fume, fire or breakage hazards Unauthorised access to the work area Poor layout causing slips, trips, restricted escape or contact with plant Workers not aware of material-specific risks, SDS requirements or emergency arrangements
Equipment condition and guarding	Contact with moving parts, cutters, belts or rotating components Failure or bypassing of guards and interlocks Unexpected start-up during adjustment or cleaning Plant defects leading to loss of control, entanglement or ejected parts
Electrical safety	Electric shock from damaged leads, plugs, switches or internal faults Fire from overloaded circuits or faulty electrical equipment Electrical contact in damp, dusty or conductive environments
Material securing and workpiece handling	Workpiece movement causing tool kick-out, breakage or loss of control Cuts from sharp edges or burrs Manual task injuries while lifting, holding or repositioning materials Dropped items causing crush injuries or foot injuries
Airborne contaminants and ventilation	Inhalation of dust, fumes, vapours or gases generated during engraving Exposure to respirable crystalline silica where silica-containing products are engraved Exposure to metal dust, wood dust or coating residues Poorly ventilated areas allowing contaminants to build up and affect nearby workers
Flying particles, fragments and eye injury	Flying chips, dust, swarf or broken tooling striking the eyes or face Fragments injuring nearby workers Surface damage or rebound from brittle materials
Noise and vibration	Hearing damage from prolonged or high-level noise Poor communication leading to mistakes or delayed emergency response Hand-arm discomfort or fatigue from vibration and prolonged tool use
Heat, fire and hazardous substances	Burns from hot workpieces, hot tooling or friction-heated surfaces Ignition of flammable dusts, solvents, packaging or waste Skin or eye contact with cleaning chemicals, inks, coatings or coolants Hazardous atmosphere from fumes or vapours in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces
Housekeeping, waste and completion	Slips and trips from dust, offcuts, swarf, leads or waste Cuts during cleanup from sharp waste or broken tooling Exposure to dust when cleaning work areas and equipment Unexpected start-up during post-task cleaning or inspection
