Hand Tools for Fabrication Operation (PUWER)

This Fabrication Hand Tools Risk Assessment focuses on the key hazards associated with hand tool use in metalworking and fabrication settings, including cuts from sharp edges, impact injuries, tool slippage, flying metal fragments, repetitive strain, and tool failure during heavy-duty use. It outlines practical, fabrication specific control measures aligned with PUWER requirements and is fully editable in Microsoft Word for easy adaptation to your tooling, processes, and workshop conditions.

A straightforward and reliable way to manage safety, protect fabricators, and maintain compliance across welding, cutting and metalworking environments.

Templates must be reviewed and adapted for each workplace by a competent person. Simple Safety accepts no liability for their use
