Use this small lathe risk assessment to identify hazards and verify critical safety controls before operation. The checklist covers safety devices and guarding, emergency stop functionality, headstock and tailstock condition, belts and pulleys, cross slide and tool post integrity, machine bed slide condition, and proper lubrication. It also includes checks for the control panel and electrics, including isolate switch condition, panel cleanliness, wiring heat damage, and motor cabling. General requirements include availability of the operator’s manual, SOP visibility and compliance, photos where needed, and sign-off. Ideal for machining workshops to standardize inspections and reduce risk.
