The 2-4 Post Vehicle Hoist Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) helps a business set out safe practices for using a 2 or 4 post vehicle hoist, with essential instructions for safe operation and maintenance.
It covers the hazards (electricity, falling objects, fluids under pressure, hoist failure, manual handling and poor housekeeping), the PPE to wear, daily pre-operational checks of the hoist and work area, and operator training and competency.
It also gives step-by-step instructions for placing a vehicle on the hoist, raising, locking, unlocking and lowering it, maintenance under lockout/tagout, and a hazard checklist for powered non-mobile plant.
