Before starting the Rotary Press, it’s essential to complete all necessary pre-operational checks to ensure safe and efficient operation. Follow this checklist to prepare the press for a productive shift. As you complete each task, please tick the corresponding box and sign off on the Pre-Operational Checklist document to confirm that the task has been completed. Any issues encountered during the checks should be reported immediately to your supervisor and/or the maintenance team.

• • Task: Verify that the work area was left clean by the previous shift.
  • Description: Inspect the press area for any debris, glue spills, and unnecessary materials. A clean workspace is crucial for maintaining safety and efficiency.

• Task: Turn on the computer and set up the necessary PC spreadsheets.
• Description: Power up the computer and open the required spreadsheets to log data during the shift. Ensure that all relevant programs are ready for use.
