The Agricultural Prescribed Burns Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) is a guide for businesses conducting controlled burns. It provides a framework for safe and compliant operations, helping to protect both workers and the environment.
It covers the hazards of burns and wildfire, the PPE to wear, training and precautions, planning a burn with a Burn Plan and permits, assessing on-site conditions, pumping water, conducting burn operations, drip torch use, hand tools, hazardous trees and what to do on completion.
An employee training and induction register tracks the training and competency of workers.
