Safe design approach used by WCC
Identify hazards
Identify the hazards relating to all stages of the product – such as hazardous manual
handling or violence and aggression.
Assess the risk
Assess the likelihood of the hazard causing harm to people.
Eliminate or control the risk
Implement effective control measures to eliminate the risk, or if this is not possible,
reduce the risk of harm to an acceptable level. For example, overhead tracking, noise
reduction, machine guarding.
Review
Review the effectiveness of the controls to ensure they are working to reduce the risk to
an acceptable level.
Principles of safe design
The five principles that impact on achieving a safe design are described below.
Principle 1: Persons with control
Assessment task
The people who make decisions should be competent and understand that their decisions
will affect the design of products, facilities or processes, which means they can promote
health and safety at the source.
Principle 2: Product life cycle
Safe design applies to every stage in the life cycle from conception through to disposal.
It involves eliminating hazards or minimising risks as early in the life cycle as possible.
Principle 3: Systematic risk management
The consistent application of hazard identification, risk assessment and risk control
processes is required to achieve safe design.
Principle 4: Safe design knowledge and capability
Should be either demonstrated or acquired by persons with control over design.
Principle 5: Information transfer
Effective communication and documentation of design and risk control information

between all persons involved in the phases of the life cycle is essential for the safe
design approach.
The safe design principles will be applicable to the following stages of the product’s life
cycle:
 Procurement
 Installation
 Operation
 Disposal
‘Safe design’ refers to a process defined as the integration of hazard identification and
risk assessment methods to eliminate or minimise the risk of injury throughout the life
cycle of plant, tool or equipment being designed.
New equipment to be introduced into the workplace
West Civil Construction (WCC) wants to introduce micro trencher for excavating narrow
trenches, usually in urban areas. Widths range from 30-130 mm (1.2-5.1 in), with
depths of 500 mm (20 in) or less.
The reduced trench size means that there is a reduction in the volume of excavated
waste material, and disturbance can be minimised.
West Civil Construction (WCC) need to be radio-controlled and will be used for road
maintenance and to gain access to utilities under the road surface.

Case study: Jack Machinery Australia
Back ground information
Jack Machinery Australia is a long-standing saw manufacturer. Jack Machinery has over
40 years of experience in the saw manufacturing sector and is worldwide famous for its
outstanding quality and unique product line. Bandsaws, coldsaws, friction saws, and
T.C.T saws are among the top metal cutting saws created in Italy. Jack machines are
purpose-built for high-volume, continuous use in the most demanding manufacturing
situations.
Jack Machinery Australia specialises in providing industrial metal cutting bandsaws,

coldsaws, friction and TCT saws that offer the best quality cuts while meeting the
demanding quality and capacity demands of industrial applications.
For almost 20 years, Jack Machinery Australia has been delivering bandsaws to industrial
workshops all around Australia as metal cutting saw specialists. Our knowledge and
expertise have assisted us in developing Australia's greatest line of metal cutting saws,
allowing us to provide our clients with the best service and advise.
Jack saws are offered throughout Australia through our distributor network.
Saws produced and sold by Jack saws
Metal cutting saws
Jack Machinery Australia specialises in the production of every type of saw used in the
metalworking and fabrication industries, with manual, semi-automatic, and fully
automatic alternatives available. Jack Machinery Australia is the best in the business,
with tough industrial-grade construction and exceptional cutting quality.
We stock a wide variety of metal cutting saws, including:
 Coldsaws – Circular saw machines that cut quickly, accurately, and with great
quality. When using a coldsaw, both the blade and the material being cut remain
cool. They are suitable for cutting most ferrous and non-ferrous alloys, and the
blades may be sharpened several times if they get blunt.
 Bandsaws – Purchase the most dependable quality bandsaws in Australia. These

bandsaws are well suited to high-capacity metal cutting projects since they can
cut through enormous amounts of work swiftly and easily. M42 bandsaw blades
have a long life and are inexpensive, resulting in a low cost per cut. When a blade
becomes blunt, it is simple to replace it.
 Friction Saws – High-speed circular saws that cut metal using frictional heat.
The generated heat melts through the metal, resulting in an extremely quick cut.
Friction saws are frequently used for cutting the most tough materials, although
their blades have a shorter life period than other saws.
 T.C.T Saws – A rapid and precise circular saw designed for nonferrous metals
such as aluminium, copper, and brass. These saws feature a tungsten carbide-
tipped blade, which provides improved strength and allows the saw to be run at
much higher temperatures to generate a faster cut.
Assessment task
Saw blades
We offer Jack bandsaw and coldsaw saw blades for general purpose cutting, as well as
specialised saw blades for the most difficult metal cutting operations.
Our selection includes speed face coldsaw blades, which reduce friction when cutting and
increase wear resistance. Cobalt coldsaw blades are an additional exceptional option,
with a 5 percent cobalt content that increases the hardness of the blades, making them
an excellent choice for cutting hard materials that reach greater temperatures during the
cutting process.
T.C.T saw blades, which are tungsten carbide-tipped for enhanced cutting quality when
working with non-ferrous metals, are also available.
Saw accessories
In our Saw Accessories department, you'll find everything you need. No cutting saw is co
mplete withoutsynthetic metal working fluid, which we supply in 5 litre and 20 litre sizes.
We also supply coldsaw platforms, which provide you with a perfect working platform at
a comfortable height to perform your metal sawing work.
Safe design approach used by WCC
Identify hazards
Identify the hazards relating to all stages of the product – such as hazardous manual
handling or violence and aggression.
Assess the risk
Assess the likelihood of the hazard causing harm to people.
Eliminate or control the risk
Implement effective control measures to eliminate the risk, or if this is not possible,
reduce the risk of harm to an acceptable level. For example, overhead tracking, noise
reduction, machine guarding.
Review
Review the effectiveness of the controls to ensure they are working to reduce the risk to
an acceptable level.
Principles of safe design
The five principles that impact on achieving a safe design are described below.
Principle 1: Persons with control
Assessment task
The people who make decisions should be competent and understand that their decisions
will affect the design of products, facilities or processes, which means they can promote
health and safety at the source.
Principle 2: Product life cycle
Safe design applies to every stage in the life cycle from conception through to disposal.
It involves eliminating hazards or minimising risks as early in the life cycle as possible.
Principle 3: Systematic risk management
The consistent application of hazard identification, risk assessment and risk control
processes is required to achieve safe design.
Principle 4: Safe design knowledge and capability
Should be either demonstrated or acquired by persons with control over design.
Principle 5: Information transfer
Effective communication and documentation of design and risk control information

between all persons involved in the phases of the life cycle is essential for the safe
design approach.
The safe design principles will be applicable to the following stages of the product’s life
cycle:
 Design
 Installation
 Operation
 Disposal
‘Safe design’ refers to a process defined as the integration of hazard identification and
risk assessment methods to eliminate or minimise the risk of injury throughout the life
cycle of plant, tool or equipment being designed.
New equipment to be introduced into the workplace
Jack Machinery Australia wants to design a cold saw with protective guarding that will
enable safe operation, whilst also ensuring that the machine can be installed, maintained
and disposed of safely.
