This large lathe risk assessment checklist helps teams assess machine safety before use. Review guards and emergency stops, check for leaks and belt tension, verify head stock, tail stock, cross slide, and tool post condition, confirm lubrication points, and inspect the control panel, isolation switch, wiring, and cables. Ensure the operations manual and SOP are available and followed, capture photos, and sign off to document findings and corrective actions.
