SOP · SOP-60011

  • Version 4

The Vehicle Column Lift Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) outlines step-by-step processes for safe and efficient lifting operations, helping to mitigate risks associated with lift failure and uncontrolled vehicle movement.

It covers the hazards, operator training and precautions, the pre-operational inspection, maintenance under LOTO procedures and the manufacturer's instructions, storage, and the steps for lifting and lowering a vehicle.

A hazard checklist for powered non-mobile plant, with Y, N and NA for each item, helps confirm every safety measure is in place.
