This document includes specific risk controls for:
- Safe setup and operation of neon tube bending equipment, including burners, torches, and workbenches
- Handling, heating, and bending of glass neon tubes to minimise burns, cuts, and breakage risks
- Use and storage of flammable gases and fuels associated with neon tube fabrication
- Ventilation and fume control during heating, coating, and processing of neon tubes and sign components
- Safe handling and installation of electrical components for illuminated and neon signage
- Management of manual handling risks when lifting, carrying, and positioning large sign panels and frames
- Use of hand tools and power tools for cutting, drilling, routing, and finishing sign materials
- Control of noise, dust, and sharp edges when working with metals, plastics, and composite sign substrates
- Application of paints, coatings, adhesives, and solvents, including safe storage and decanting
- Housekeeping, waste management, and disposal of offcuts, broken glass, and chemical wastes
- Emergency response procedures for burns, cuts, glass breakage, gas leaks, fire, and electric shock
- Use, inspection, and maintenance of personal protective equipment (PPE) for sign manufacturing activities
