Coffee machine installation and repair involves electrical connections, water systems, and heavy equipment handling in hospitality environments, requiring careful management of electrical and burn hazards.
Fully editable, audit-ready, and aligned to Australian WHS standards.
Coffee machine work involves high-voltage electrical systems, hot equipment, and chemical cleaning that can cause severe burns, electric shock, or chemical exposure in busy hospitality settings.
Reinforce licensing, insurance, and regulator expectations for Coffee Machine Installation-Repair Safe Work Method Statement crews before they mobilise.
Surface the critical risks tied to this work scope and communicate them to every worker.
Coffee machines operate on 240V with heating elements requiring electrical connections near water sources, creating severe shock and burn risks.
Consequence: Electric shock, severe burns from live electrical contact, cardiac arrest, or fire from faulty wiring.
Commercial coffee machines weigh 50-100kg requiring lifting and positioning, often in confined spaces or elevated positions.
Consequence: Back injuries, shoulder strain, hernias, or equipment drops causing crushing injuries.
Coffee machines contain hot water systems, heating elements, and steam that remain hazardous during operation and immediately after shutdown.
Consequence: Severe burns from hot surfaces, steam burns, or scalding from hot water discharge.
Coffee machine cleaning involves descaling chemicals and sanitizers that can cause skin irritation or respiratory issues if mishandled.
Consequence: Chemical burns, respiratory irritation, allergic reactions, or long-term health effects from cleaning agents.
Installation on wet surfaces or around spilled coffee/chemicals creates slip hazards. Cable routing can create trip risks.
Consequence: Slips and falls causing fractures, head injuries, or back injuries.
Some installations require access to confined spaces behind equipment with limited ventilation and emergency egress.
Consequence: Entrapment if unable to exit quickly, poor air quality during repairs.
Deploy layered controls aligned to the hierarchy of hazard management.
Use factory-pre-assembled coffee machines to reduce on-site electrical and mechanical work requirements.

Give supervisors and crews a clear, auditable sequence for the task.
Assess location for electrical supply, water access, ventilation, and structural integrity. Prepare work area and isolate utilities.
Position machine using mechanical aids. Secure to stable surface. Verify level installation.
Install electrical supply cable and connect to power following AS/NZS 3000. Install safety switches and earthing.
Install water supply lines, filters, and drainage. Connect to water supply. Install backflow prevention.
Test all functions including heating, steam, brewing. Verify safety features. Perform initial cleaning.
Complete adjustments and programming. Provide training on safe use, cleaning, emergency response.
Isolate all systems before repair. Use diagnostic tools. Test repairs before service return.
Licensed electricians only. Equipment requires RCD protection, proper earthing, AS/NZS 3000 compliance. Install safety switches. Never work on live systems near water.
Use mechanical lifting equipment for machines over 25kg. Plan routes to avoid obstacles. Use team lifting. Consider pre-positioning before setup.
Allow cooling before testing. Start with low-pressure tests. Monitor overheating. Test safety features separately. Prepare for hot water discharge.
Wear chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection. Work in ventilated areas. Follow manufacturer dilution instructions. Have spill containment ready.
Check thermal cutouts, pressure relief valves, automatic shut-off, emergency stops. Verify RCD protection and earthing. Test safety interlocks.

Coffee machine installation and repair involves the assembly, mounting, electrical connection, plumbing setup, and maintenance of commercial coffee equipment including espresso machines, grinders, and brewing systems. This work includes mechanical installation, electrical wiring, water system connections, and equipment servicing. Typical activities include equipment positioning, electrical connections, water line installation, testing operations, and maintenance repairs. Equipment ranges from single espresso machines to multi-unit commercial systems, with work occurring in cafes, restaurants, offices, and hospitality venues. This SWMS applies to all coffee machine installation, repair, and maintenance activities, including equipment setup, electrical connections, plumbing work, and routine servicing.
Coffee machine work involves electrical systems, heavy equipment, and chemical handling that can cause severe injuries. Safe Work Australia reports show electrical faults and manual handling incidents contribute to workplace accidents in hospitality settings. Australian WHS Regulations require specific controls for electrical work, manual handling, and chemical safety. Improper installation can result in electrical faults, equipment failure, or chemical exposure hazards for operators and customers. The combination of high-voltage electrical systems, heavy machinery, and chemical cleaning agents creates complex safety challenges that require systematic risk management and compliance with electrical and food safety standards.
