Activities & Specific Tasks Covered

This document includes task-specific risk controls for:

Complete pre-start planning, induction and exclusion-zone set-up
Inspect the rolling mill and safety systems
Receive, unload and load coils onto the decoiler
Thread strip through the mill
Operate the rolling mill
Monitor coiling and cutting activities
Respond to cobbles and jams
Clean scale and spills
Change rolls and other components
Shut down the mill and complete handover

Who is this for?

For contractors, workers, supervisors and businesses carrying out metal rolling-mill work.

Specific Job Steps & Hazards Covered

Job Step / Activity	Potential Hazards
Pre-start planning and induction	Unauthorised operation Unfamiliar emergency controls Conflicting work activities Fatigue and reduced attention Inadequate communication
Set up exclusion zones	Pedestrian struck by plant Contact with moving strip Falling coil or load Slip on oil or scale Unauthorised access
Inspect plant and safety systems	Guard failure Unexpected plant movement Hydraulic fluid injection Electrical fault Excessive noise
Receive and unload coils	Crush from suspended coil Forklift collision Coil roll-away Failure of lifting gear Dropped load
Load the decoiler	Crush at coil car Coil ejection Entanglement in mandrel Pinch points Stored hydraulic energy
Thread strip through mill	Entanglement in rolls Crush at pinch points Laceration from strip edges Strip whip Unexpected start-up
Operate rolling mill	Draw-in to rolling rolls Ejected strip or cobble Hot metal contact Noise-induced hearing loss Oil mist exposure Hydraulic rupture
Monitor coiling and cutting	Coil collapse Shear amputation Strip recoil Crush at coiler Flying offcuts
Respond to cobbles and jams	Stored mechanical energy Ejected strip Crush during access Unexpected restart Sharp strip edges
Clean scale and spills	Slip on oil Airborne metal dust Hot scale burns Manual handling strain Contact with moving plant
Change rolls and components	Crush from roll assembly Suspended load Stored energy release Dropped tools Entanglement during testing
Shutdown and handover	Unexpected restart Uncontrolled stored energy Unsecured coil Incomplete handover Residual slip hazards
