Published by SALUSCompetency Assessment Form: Concrete Core Drilling Machine ==========================================================
This competency assessment form is designed to evaluate an individual's ability to safely operate a concrete core drilling machine. It includes sections for hazard identification, risk assessment, and control measures, ensuring that operators are aware of potential dangers and can mitigate risks effectively. This form is based on industry best practices and regulatory requirements to promote a safe working environment.

Power Source (Electric/Hydraulic):
Pre-Operational Checks
Inspect the core drilling machine for any visible damage or defects.
Check the power cord (if electric) or hydraulic lines (if hydraulic) for wear and tear.
Verify that all safety guards and shields are in place and functioning correctly.
Ensure the drill bit is appropriate for the material being drilled and is securely attached.
Confirm that the water supply system (if applicable) is functioning correctly to control dust and cool the drill bit.
Operational Procedures
Demonstrates proper startup and shutdown procedures.
Maintains a stable and secure grip on the machine during operation.
Applies appropriate pressure and feed rate for efficient and safe drilling.
Monitors the drilling process for any signs of overheating, excessive vibration, or other issues.
Uses appropriate techniques to prevent the drill bit from binding or wandering.
Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment
The goal of hazard identification is to find and record possible hazards that may be present in the workplace. It may help to work as a team and include people familiar with the work area, as well as people who are not - this way, you have both experienced and fresh eyes to conduct the inspection. [3]
Complete the table below to identify potential hazards, assess the associated risks, and determine appropriate control measures.
| Step/Task | Hazard | Risk (Low, Medium, High) | Control Measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setup | Pinch points on machines (places where parts are very close together). | Medium | Ensure guards are in place; maintain safe distances. |
| Operation | Moving objects (conveyors, chains, belts, ropes, etc.) | High | Use machine guarding and PPE. |
| Drilling | Dust inhalation | Medium | Use water suppression or dust collection systems; wear a respirator. |
| Handling Core Samples | Sharp or jagged edges. | Medium | Wear gloves; use appropriate tools for handling. |
| Maintenance | Contact with electricity. | High | Lockout/tagout procedures; qualified personnel only. |
Risk Assessment Matrix
Use the following risk matrix to determine the risk level for each identified hazard.
| Low Severity | Medium Severity | High Severity | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low Probability | Very Low Risk | Low Risk | Medium Risk |
| Medium Probability | Low Risk | High Risk | High Risk |
| High Probability | Medium Risk | High Risk | Immediately Dangerous |
Severity Ratings:
High severity: fatal disease or injury, permanent disability, irreversible health effects, major fracture, poisoning, significant loss of blood, or serious head injury. [1] [2]
Medium severity: sprain, strain, localized burn, dermatitis, asthma, injury requiring limited days off work [1] [2]
Low severity: an injury that requires first aid only; short-term pain, irritation, or dizziness [1] [2]
Probability Ratings:
High probability: likely to be experienced once a year or more by an individual [1] [2]
Medium probability: may be experienced once every five years by an individual [1] [2]
Low probability: may occur once during a working lifetime [1] [2]
Control Measures
Engineering Controls:
Use machine guards to prevent contact with moving parts.
Implement water suppression or dust collection systems to control dust exposure.
Ensure proper ventilation in the work area.
Administrative Controls:
Develop and implement safe work procedures for core drilling operations.
Provide comprehensive training on the safe operation of the core drilling machine.
Implement a lockout/tagout procedure for maintenance and repair work.
Conduct regular inspections of the core drilling machine and associated equipment.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
Wear appropriate eye protection (safety glasses or goggles) to protect against flying debris.
Use hearing protection (earplugs or earmuffs) when operating the core drilling machine in noisy environments.
Wear respiratory protection (respirator) when dust exposure is a concern.
Use gloves to protect hands from cuts, abrasions, and chemical exposure.
Wear appropriate footwear (safety shoes) to protect feet from falling objects and sharp edges.
Emergency Procedures
Ensure that emergency stop buttons are easily accessible and functioning correctly.
Establish a clear evacuation plan in case of fire or other emergencies.
Provide first aid training and supplies on-site.
Ensure that all workers know how to report incidents and near misses.
Competency Assessment Checklist
The operator must demonstrate competence in the following areas:
- Understanding of core drilling machine operation and safety features.
- Ability to perform pre-operational checks.
- Proper use of PPE.
- Safe drilling techniques.
- Hazard identification and risk assessment.
- Emergency procedures.

# Hazard and Risk - Hazard Identification (cont.) ## What is hazard identification? (cont.) - Identify hazards and risk factors that have the potential to cause harm (hazard identification). - Analyze and evaluate the risk associated with that hazard (risk analysis, and risk evaluation). - Determine appropriate ways to eliminate the hazard or control the risk when the hazard cannot be eliminated (risk control). Overall, the goal of hazard identification is to find and record possible hazards that may be present in your workplace. It may help to work as a team and include people familiar with the work area, as well as people who are not -this way, you have both experienced and fresh eyes to conduct the inspection. ## When should hazard identification be done? Hazard identification can be done: - During design and implementation - Designing a new process or procedure - Purchasing and installing new machinery - Before tasks are done - Checking equipment or following processes - Reviewing surroundings before each shift - While tasks are being done - Be aware of changes, abnormal conditions, or sudden emissions - During inspections - Formal, informal, supervisor, health and safety committee - After incidents - Near misses or minor events - Injuries ## How are hazards identified? There are many ways a workplace can identify hazards, including: Workplace inspections Hazard and Risk - Hazard Identification CCOHS

You can also develop general actions that correspond to the risk rating, such as: - Immediately dangerous: stop the process and implement controls immediately - High risk: investigate the process and implement controls immediately - Medium risk: keep the process going; however, a control plan must be developed and should be implemented as soon as possible - Low risk: keep the process going, but monitor regularly. A control plan should also be investigated. - Very low risk: keep monitoring the process Hazard and Risk - Risk Assessment CCOHS
