The Compactor Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) is a guide to safe and efficient compactor operation, helping you manage risks and protect your workforce.
It covers the hazards (noise, electricity, moving objects, sharp edges, falls, manual handling and poor housekeeping), the PPE to wear, a pre-operational inspection, operator training, maintenance and LOTO, installation, step-by-step operation from loading to ejecting bales, and a hazard checklist for powered non-mobile plant.
A training quiz comes with the procedure to reinforce learning and check worker understanding.
