Floor Sander

The Floor Sanding Work Method Statement (SWMS) outlines the main hazards and risks associated with the operation of floor and edge sanders used for surface preparation of timber floors prior to the application of coatings, polishing or installation of floor 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 sanders.
