Product Overview

This SWMS covers metalworking rolling and wire machinery activities, including setup, loading, operation, tooling changes, cleaning and handover. It supports planning and managing risks from moving machinery, rotating parts, sharp materials, stored energy, fluids, dust and equipment access.

Activities & Specific Tasks Covered

This document includes task-specific risk controls for:

Plan work and authorise machine operators
Prepare work areas and access routes
Inspect machinery and safeguards
Load coils and feed spools
Thread wire, strip and tube
Operate rolling and forming lines
Operate drawing and wire lines
Operate coiling, winding and weaving equipment
Operate precision turning and dies
Operate metal additive and sputtering equipment
Clear jams and change tooling
Clean up and hand over the work area

Who is this for?

Suitable for contractors, workers, supervisors and businesses carrying out metalworking rolling and wire machinery activities.

Specific Job Steps & Hazards Covered

Job Step / Activity	Potential Hazards
Plan work and authorise operators	Unauthorised plant operation Incorrect machine setup Inadequate guarding knowledge Uncontrolled contractor interface Emergency response delay
Prepare work area and access	Slips from lubricant Trips from wire and offcuts Contact with moving plant Poor access to emergency stops Pedestrian interaction
Inspect plant and safeguards	Entanglement in rotating parts Crushing at nip points Ejected wire or strip Guard failure Unexpected plant start
Load coils and feed spools	Crush from coil movement Coil collapse Forklift strike Manual handling strain Sharp wire ends
Thread wire strip and tube	Entanglement at feed points Laceration from sharp edges Stored coil energy Crush at rollers Unexpected line movement
Operate rolling and forming lines	Crushing at roll nip points Entanglement in rotating shafts Ejected metal strip Flying scale and swarf Noise exposure Hot workpiece contact
Operate drawing and wire lines	High-speed wire whip Entanglement in capstans Wire breakage Laceration from wire ends Noise exposure Lubricant splash
Operate coiling winding and weaving	Entanglement in rotating mandrels Spring-back from formed metal Crush from shuttle movement Needle and wire puncture Unexpected automatic cycle Repetitive task strain
Operate precision turning and dies	Ejected workpiece Contact with cutting tool Sharp swarf Rotating chuck entanglement Coolant mist Tooling failure
Operate metal additive equipment	Combustible metal powder Airborne metal particulate Laser or electron beam exposure Hot build plate Inert gas asphyxiation Static discharge
Conduct sputtering operations	Compressed gas release Oxygen displacement High voltage exposure Vacuum chamber implosion Hazardous chemical exposure Hot target surfaces
Clear jams and change tooling	Unexpected energisation Stored mechanical energy Crush from moving plant Cuts from dies and strip Hydraulic or pneumatic release Falling components
Clean up and hand over	Sharp offcuts Residual stored energy Slips from fluids Unsecured coils Unauthorised restart Exposure to metal dust
