The Plastics Compactor Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) outlines step-by-step processes for safe operation when using a plastics compactor.
It covers the hazards (noise, electricity, the compaction chamber, moving parts, polyethylene powder and manual tasks), the PPE to wear, the pre-operational inspection, operator training and competency, maintenance, and a step-by-step operation.
A hazard checklist helps identify and manage hazards on powered non-mobile plant. The SOP also comes with a training quiz to reinforce learning and assess worker comprehension.
