The Vehicle Service Pit Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) is a guide for businesses using vehicle service pits. It outlines the safe processes that help maintain a secure working environment.
It covers the hazards (unprotected edges, hazardous atmosphere, fire, falling debris and poor housekeeping), the PPE to wear, operator training, and guarding against falls, against fire and asphyxiation, and against vehicles or objects falling into the pit.
A training and induction register records each worker's induction, training and competency.
