Wheel Alignment Machine

SOP · SOP-60217

  • Version 3
  • Power Tools & Equipment
  • Reads on any phone

The Wheel Alignment Machine Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) helps businesses use a wheel alignment machine safely, from the hazards and precautions to the steps for preparing the vehicle, connecting the equipment and finishing the job.

It covers the hazards (rotating parts, ejected objects, electricity, manual handling and poor housekeeping), the PPE to wear, operator training, the pre-operational inspection, and maintenance under lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures with a maintenance log.

A hazard checklist for powered non-mobile plant, with Y, N and NA for each item, helps confirm every safety measure is in place before work starts.
