Workplace Safety has conducted a comprehensive job safety analysis for impact wrench operations, e.g. securing of fixings and how to change impact drive sockets with risk control measures developed for identified hazards per WHS hierarchy of controls.

  • WHS consultation with employees on health and safety matters to identify potential hazards with operating an electric impact wrench and ensure electrical hand tool safety

  • WHS consultation and participation processes ensure adequate health and safety communication

  • Pre-operational inspection of impact wrench per electrical tools inspection checklist, e.g. how to check tools and equipment are free from damage such as damaged electrical cords

  • Damaged tools and equipment shall have an out of service tag placed on it with procedures for reporting faulty equipment in the workplace implemented

  • Do not alter or modify an impact wrench, e.g. impact wrench handle removal will affect tool safety

  • Inspect impact drive socket for signs of wear and damage per tool safety checklist, replace if necessary and dispose of damaged impact drive sockets appropriately

  • Impact wrench operation per impact wrench SOP focuses on impact wrench control measures to reduce the level of risk

  • Workplace environmental hazards, e.g. confined space and working at heights

  • Working at height on ladders, aluminium mobile scaffold and elevated work platforms when operating an impact wrench

  • Hazardous chemicals and hazardous products used in connection with operating an impact wrench

  • Hazardous manual tasks in connection with the operation of an impact wrench

  • Personal protective equipment, e.g. respiratory protective equipment, protective clothing, eye protection
