1 SCOPE OF WORK, SAFETY METHOD STATEMENT & RISK ASSESSMENT Prepared for:- Date:- Work Scheduled:- SCOPE OF WORK Carry out installation of flow meters / pressure sensors. Installation of flow meter procedure - Access to the area will require the use of ladders which will be checked and secured prior to use. - Any existing flow meters installed will be visually inspected prior to removal. A safety chain will be installed to retain the flow meter in position as the retaining nut is removed. - As the probe exits the compressed air pipe work the isolating ball valve will be closed to prevent release of air to atmosphere. - The Flow Meter will be positioned within the ¾ ball valve inlet to the compressed air pipe work. This will be secured by safety chain. The valve will be opened and the flow meter inserted. The retaining nut will be secured and safety chain locked in position.

2 Safety Issues/Possible Risks Risks to personnel The risks to personnel are due to release of gas and release of swarf. Other risks may be present depending on the position of the measurement point eg heat, working at height etc. Risk Gas Gas & Swarf Preventive measures A safety chain is installed to retain the flow meter probe within the pipe work should the retaining nut be removed.
