Activities & Specific Tasks Covered

This document includes task-specific risk controls for:

Review the job, work area and emergency arrangements
Inspect the lathe, guards and safety systems
Select materials, mandrels and forming tools
Mount and secure blanks and workholding
Set speeds and conduct a low-speed proving run
Carry out metal spinning while monitoring vibration and defects
Stop the lathe and remove finished components
Change tooling or mandrels safely
Clean swarf, spills and the work area
Complete shutdown, records and handover

Who is this for?

For contractors, workers, supervisors and businesses carrying out lathe metal spinning activities.
