Window tinting involves significant fall hazards from working at heights, chemical exposure from adhesives and cleaners, and risks of glass breakage during installation. Construction sites present additional challenges with unstable access, weather conditions, and proximity to other trades. This SWMS ensures systematic risk assessment, proper fall protection, safe chemical handling, and glass integrity verification to prevent serious injuries and property damage.
Window tinting operations present several hazards requiring specialized control measures.
Control measures follow the hierarchy of controls, prioritizing elimination and engineering solutions before administrative and PPE measures.
Personal protective equipment is critical for window tinting safety and must meet specific standards.
Regular inspections and checks are essential for maintaining window tinting safety.
Follow these systematic procedures for safe window tinting operations.
