The Log Splitter Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) provides a structured approach for safe operation and hazard management when using log splitters.

It covers the hazards (flying materials, electricity, blades), the PPE to wear, operator training and competency, a pre-operational inspection checklist, maintenance, and safe practices and ergonomic considerations while splitting logs.

A hazard checklist for powered non-mobile plant, with Y, N and NA for each item, helps identify and manage the risks of the equipment.
