Floor Grinder

The Floor Grinder Work Method Statement (SWMS) outlines the main hazards and risks associated with the operation of floor grinders used for surface preparation of concrete floors prior to the application of coatings or coverings. The SWMS provides details of the safety inspections required of the plant before use, and the safety precautions (including personal protective equipment requirements) to be observed when using floor grinders. (Note: Due to significant variations in Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) requirements between states and territories, reference to regulations, codes of practice and guidance material in each jurisdiction is recommended.) (See SWMS0437 – Silica – Respirable Crystalline (RCS)).
