The Roadside Tyre Change Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) is a guide for staying safe during roadside tyre changes. It gives a structured approach to replacing a tyre safely and efficiently, reducing the risks of this common task.
It covers the hazards (passing vehicles, outdoor work, vehicle collapse, falling objects and manual handling), the PPE to wear, operator training, a pre-operational checklist for the equipment, and step-by-step instructions from parking the vehicle to packing up and completion.
An employee training and induction register tracks the training and competency of the workers involved.
