006 - Machine Safety Checklist

This machine safety checklist is used to inspect machinery and ensure proper safety protocols are followed. It contains over 20 questions to check that machines are properly guarded, have emergency stop devices, operational controls are clearly marked and can be locked, and that maintenance and repairs are only done by competent individuals. Inspections are to be documented with the name and signature of those conducting the review.

Where access to a danger point is not required during normal operation,
maintenance or cleaning, are all danger points or areas guarded by a
permanently fixed physical barrier?
Is guarding of solid construction and securely mounted so as to resist impact and
shock?
Is guarding designed so as not to cause a risk in itself?
Are guards intended to provide protection from parts of the plant or work pieces
that may break, disintegrate or be ejected sufficient to effectively contain the
parts, work pieces or fragments?
Where it may be necessary to clear any jamming or blockage of moving parts
during operation, are employees aware of and trained in the work procedures,
devices or tools specified by the designer or other competent person?
Are all operational controls suitably identified so that their nature and function is
clear?
Are all operational controls located so as to be operated readily and conveniently
by each person using the plant?
Are all operational controls located or guarded to prevent unintentional
activation?
Are all operational controls able to be locked in the “off” position (or include an
alternative method of power isolation) to enable all motive power and forces to be
disconnected?
Where it is not reasonably practicable for the plant to be stopped during
maintenance and cleaning, is it provided with operational controls that allow safe
controlled operation?
Where plant is designed to be operated or attended by more than one person
and more than one control is fitted to the plant, are the controls of the “stop and
lock-off” type so that the plant cannot be restarted after a stop control has been
used unless each stop control is reset?
Where warning devices are necessary to secure safety, are they placed in a
position that serves that purpose?
Are emergency stop devices prominently, clearly and durably marked and
immediately accessible to each operator?
Are emergency stop devices provided with handles, bars or push buttons that are
coloured red?
Are emergency stop devices unable to be affected by electrical or electronic
circuit malfunction?
Are the necessary facilities and systems of work provided and maintained so as
to minimise the risks to health and safety of persons maintaining, inspecting,
altering, repairing or cleaning the plant?
Are inspections, maintenance and cleaning carried out having regard to
procedures recommended by the designer or manufacturer, or developed by a
competent person?
Are all safety features and warning devices maintained and tested?
If plant has been damaged to the extent that its operation or condition is impaired
and the risk to health or safety is increased, does a competent person assess the
damage and provide advice on:
• the nature of the damage? and
• whether the plant is able to be repaired and, if so, what repairs must be
carried out to minimise risks to health and safety?
Is repair, inspection and, if necessary, testing, carried out by a competent

person?
Are repairs to the plant carried out so as to keep the plant within its design limits?

If access to plant is required for maintenance, cleaning or repair, is the plant


stopped and one or more of the following measures used to ensure safety:
• lockout or isolation devices?
• danger tags?
• permit to work systems?
• other control measures?
If it is not practicable to carry out cleaning or maintenance with the plant stopped,
are operational controls that permit controlled movement of the plant fitted and
safe systems of work used?
