Risk assessment form for TShirt Press
Activity
Heat transferring vinyl to garments.
Hazard identification
Consider the hazards involved in conducting this activity and list each hazard
1. Fire
2. Burns
3. Trapped body parts
4. Other trapped items
5. Lid springing up causing injury
Persons at risk
Consider who might be put at risk by the hazards listed above
- The user is subject to 1, 2 and 3 and 5.
- The space and all occupants are subject to 1, 3, 4, 5.
Initial assessment of risk
| Hazard identified | Severity | Probability | Risk Factor (Severity x probability) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fire | 5 | 1 | 5 |
| Burns | 3 | 2 | 6 |
| Trapped body parts | 3 | 1 | 3 |
| Other trapped items | 2 | 1 | 2 |
| Lid springing up causing injury | 2 | 3 | 6 |
Categorising the risk level as 1-4(Low), 5-9(Moderate), 10-15(High) or 16-25 (Unacceptable) shows that the potential level of risk in this activity is Moderate. Further measures are needed to reduce the risk to a low level.
Control measures
- Necessary control measures arising from the hazard identified of Fire are:
- Don't leave the machine running unattended.
- Necessary control measures arising from the hazard identified of Burns are:
- Always use handles, do not touch the upper platen.
- Allow TShirt to cool after pressing
- Necessary control measures arising from the hazard identified of Trapped body parts and Other trapped items are:
- Never put your hand between the platens
- Necessary control measures arising from the hazard identified of Electric Shock are:
- Annual PAT test
- Carry out a visual check and check the test date before use.
- Necessary control measures arising from the hazard identified of Lid springing up causing injury are:
- Advise users to stay clear of machine during automatic operation.
- Attach warning to top of upper platen.
Final assessment of risk
The assessed risk taking into account the implementation of the control measures listed, and adherence to the SSOW (Safe System of Work) if applicable is as follows:
| Hazard identified | Severity | Probability | Risk Factor (Severity x probability) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fire | 5 | 1 | 5 |
| Burns | 3 | 1 | 3 |
| Trapped body parts | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Other trapped items | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Lid springing up causing injury | 1 | 1 | 1 |
When completing Risk Assessment please consider if First Aid assistance might be appropriate if the calculated Risk level (Severity x Probability) is greater than 5
The risk now falls into the category LOW and is considered to be acceptable.
