    This document provides lessons learned and recommendations for safely operating mag drills based on incident reports. It summarizes that injuries have occurred due to entanglement of clothing in drills, drills falling from heights when not secured properly, and fingers getting tangled in swarf. It recommends always using guards if provided, securing drills properly, and using a swarf stick to remove swarf to avoid hand injuries. A standard operating procedure is also provided detailing safe practices like receiving training, restricting access, using PPE, and cleaning tools after use.

    LESSONS LEARNED / BEST PRACTICE

    Title: 2021/06 – Mag Drill Learnings


    What Happened / Impact?
    A collaborative review of incidents and near-miss accidents involving
    Mag Drills highlights some lessons learned. Examples of incidents
    occurring within the construction sector include:
    • Entanglement of high-viz vest with rotating bit, which pulled
    operative towards drill and jarred individual’s shoulder. Separate
    event resulted in bruised ribs.
    • Mag drill fell from height as not properly secured.
    • Thumb injury when drilling uni-strut.
    • Finger injury when operator’s finger tangled in swarf (when
    attempting to clean swarf away from steel).
    Why it Happened?
    • There is often no guarding, or manually
    adjustable guards, on the mag drills. The
    provision and use of guarding (if used
    correctly) reduces the risk of injury by
    protecting against unexpected access,
    entrapment of loose clothing and the ejection
    of materials.
    • When drilling, the swarf tends to build-up
    around the drilling bit. Operatives may make
    the mistake of using their fingers to remove
    swarf when the bit is in motion; this may
    result in an injury.
    • Mag drills may not be sufficiently secured to
    prevent unintended movement or falls.
    Immediate Learnings / Recommendations
    • It is suggested to provide training on the use of Power Tools
    (e.g. 6-8 mins for each power tool). A template training
    document is provided overleaf.
    • Promote use of a swarf stick.
    • Check if power tools are CE-marked, come with a
    Declaration of Conformity, and are supplied with user
    instructions in a language reasonably understood by
    operator.
    • Contact suppliers to determine if guarding is provided and if compliant with EN ISO 14120,
    ‘Safety of Machinery. Guards. General requirements for the design and construction of fixed
    and movable guards’
    • NO GUARD = DO NOT USE!

    SOP Approved By: Position: Signed:
    Date Compiled: Review By:

    Purpose of SOP: To put in place a Correct safe procedure for the operation and maintenance of
    Mag Drill.
    Scope: Set-up and operation of Mag Drill to ensure the safety and quality is maintained
    to a high standard.
    Responsibilities:
    Supervisor:
    • Ensure manufacturer’s instructions are available. Review with
    operator, whilst clearly communicating safety requirements.
    • Ensure safety guard is supplied and working.
    • Confirm competence of Operators.
    • Communicate manufacturer’s instructions to operators.
    • Strictly monitor apprentice / trainee / new operators for first four
    weeks.
    • Ensure this SOP is displayed at Mag Drill location / available on
    site.
    • Ensure equipment is in good order, guards are fitted, and
    leads/plugs/cables are in good working order prior to use. Check that PAT is in date.

    Operators:
    • Undergo training in the use of the machine prior to operating.
    • Ensure plant is in safe working order with required guards in place and engraved with unique ID
    number and that PAT is in date.
    • Operate Mag Drill safely as per manufacturer’s instructions.
    • Before operation, remove jewellery, tie-up long hair, remove loose clothing, and secure high vis
    vest using Velcro straps.

    Procedure for Safe Use of Mag Drill:


    1. Check set-up position is safe and not causing obstruction to access/egress.
    2. Ensure that access to operating zone is restricted, considering use of hard barriers and signage.
    3. Co-ordinate with others in work area regarding noise and associated hazards.
    4. Prior to start-up, check that the machine switch is set to “off” to avoid accidental start-up.
    5. Remember that ear protection must be worn where noise levels exceed 85dbA.
    6. Ensure the mag drill is secured (i.e. fix it to the surface using a strap) appropriate to the material
    to be drilled, when operating at a height.
    7. When used at a height above ground, barrier-off the area beneath.
    8. Ensure 110v plug is marked: DO NOT REMOVE.
    9. Ensure drill is square and true to work area.
    10. Allow the machine to drill the surface do not apply excessive force. This will burn the metal and
    damage the bit.
    11. Do not let swarf build up. Stop machine and remove using swarf stick and place in waste bin.
    12. Isolate the machine when changing parts in machine.
    13. There is a high risk of personal entanglement resulting in serious personal injury due moving parts
    in machine. Always keep moving parts away from the body. Always keep hands away from
    rotating bit and swarf.
    14. Do not lean into or reach across the machine at any time when in use.

    Standard Operation Procedure for Use of Mag Drill

    15. Loose clothing must be tied up, long hair put under hard hat and all hanging jewellery removed
    including scarves, hoodies with draw strings and ensure hi-vis vests are correct size and fully
    closed using Velcro straps.
    16. Care must be taken to avoid gloves becoming entangled in moving parts.
    17. Allow the machine bit to cut the metal; do not apply force.
    18. Use a clean approved cutting oil or paste.
    19. Ensure bits are clean and sharp and free from swarf and remove swarf regularly to hazard waste
    bin.
    20. Do not drill dissimilar metals (e.g. carbon and stainless steel) with the same bits.
    21. Use dedicated cloths for each metal type and grade.
    22. Clean cutting oil or paste from surface of metal.
    23. Discard any damaged machine parts or poorly maintained bits.
    24. Check for remaining swarf using a magnet.

    Quality Procedures:
    1. Do not drill dissimilar metals (e.g. carbon and stainless steel) with the same bits.
    2. Use a clean approved cutting oil or paste.
    3. Allow the machine bit to drill metal, do not apply excessive force. This will burn the cut edge and
    damage the bit.
    4. Ensure no swarf falls on services below.
    5. Clean cutting oil or paste from metal.
    6. Brush clean using correct wire brush (Steel for Steel and Stainless for Stainless).
    7. Prime or seal the inside of the exposed metal.
    8. Use dedicated cloths for each metal type and grade.
    9. Clean-up and properly dispose of swarf. Carbon particles will corrode stainless steel and copper
    when in contact with each other. Swarf from stainless cut becomes carbonised and can corrode
    the metal if not cleaned off.
    10. Check for remaining swarf using a magnet.
