The Skid Steer Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) helps implement safe work processes when operating a skid steer. It gives step-by-step instructions so workers are well prepared to handle the equipment safely and efficiently.

It covers the hazards (noise, machine roll-over, fluid under pressure and crush injuries), the PPE to wear, operator training and competency, clearance distances near power lines, maintenance under lockout/tagout, and the steps for mounting and dismounting, starting up, connecting attachments, operating and fuelling.

A hazard checklist for powered mobile machinery, with Y, N and NA for each item, helps confirm the safety measures are in place before work starts.
