The Manual Roller Conveyor Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) is a guide to operating manual roller conveyors safely in a range of work environments. It sets out the procedures and precautions that keep the workspace safe and efficient.

It covers the hazards (pinch points, manual handling, falling objects and slipping or tripping), the work area, the PPE to wear, the pre-operational inspection, precautions, step-by-step operation and maintenance.

An employee training and induction register records training completion and competency, so every worker is trained for the tasks they perform.
