Carpentry Safe Operating Procedures (SOPs)
Carpentry work involves fast-moving saws, nail guns, ladders and repetitive manual tasks. Without clear procedures, even experienced trades can be exposed to preventable injuries.
BlueSafe’s Carpentry SOPs give your team structured guidance for using tools and carrying out carpentry tasks safely.
Typical Carpentry SOP Topics
Carpentry SOPs may cover:
- operating circular saws, drop saws and planers
- safe use of nail guns and fixings
- framing walls, floors and roofs
- fit-out and finishing tasks such as doors, skirtings and architraves
Each SOP is designed to work alongside your SWMS for high-risk work like working at heights.
What’s Inside a Carpentry SOP
Each SOP typically includes:
- purpose and scope of the task
- PPE and tools required
- pre-start equipment and site checks
- step-by-step operating or installation instructions
- shutdown, house-keeping and waste management steps
- reminders about guarding, kickback and work positioning
You can adjust the content to reflect your typical construction methods and site arrangements.
