The Bogged Vehicle Recovery Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) is a guide for businesses aiming to safely and efficiently manage vehicle recovery operations. It outlines a structured approach to enhance safety during recovery tasks.
It covers the hazards (moving vehicles, straps under tension, slippery ground and manual handling), the PPE to wear, the recovery kit, precautions to avoid getting bogged, and step-by-step recovery methods: Jack and Pack, towing with recovery straps, and winching.
A vehicle pre-operational checklist helps confirm the vehicle is ready before work starts.
