The Brush Cutter Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) is a guide for businesses aiming to maintain safety and compliance while operating brush cutters. It gives step-by-step instructions for safe and efficient use of the equipment.
It covers the hazards (noise, flying materials, blades, fire and manual handling), the PPE to wear, operator training, the pre-operational inspection, maintenance under lockout/tagout, and the steps for starting up, operating, finishing and fuelling.
A hazard checklist for non-mobile equipment helps confirm the safety measures are in place before work starts.
