The Stone Slabs Safe Movement Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) provides step-by-step processes for the safe handling of stone slabs.

It covers the hazards (equipment failure, moving or falling objects, manual handling and poor housekeeping), pre-operational inspection of the gantry crane, slings, hooks and chains, operator training, selecting lifting gear, gantry crane use and the movement, cutting and finishing of slabs.

A hazard checklist for powered non-mobile plant assesses and records the risks of the equipment used.
