WorkSafe WA says it is shining a new light on a range of safety issues relating to machinery maintenance and repair.

The safety authority has developed a new safety checklist for machinery and equipment repair and maintenance workplaces.

The checklist covers a range of risk management options designed to minimise workplace injuries and comply with occupational safety and health legislation.

WorkSafe WA says the checklist is useful for all inspection, cleaning, repair, maintenance or alteration operations.
