Grader

This Grader Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) is a guide to operating graders safely, so workers can manage the hazards that come with them.

It covers the hazards (noise, underground services, machine roll-over, fluid under pressure), the PPE to wear, operator training and precautions, and maintenance including LOTO procedures and service logs.

It sets out step-by-step operation, from pre-start checks, mounting and starting up to stopping, slopes, reversing and parking, and ends with a hazard checklist to confirm the safety measures are in place before use.
