The Truck and Trailer Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) helps streamline safe work processes when operating trucks and trailers. It provides guidance to help operators manage risks and comply with safety regulations.
It covers the hazards (overhead obstructions, vehicle roll-over, fluid under pressure), operator training, licensing, coupling and uncoupling, fuelling, maintenance, operation and travel, end of shift and emergency essentials.
A hazard checklist helps assess the condition and readiness of the equipment for safe operation.
