Plant Safety Guides
Practical guidance covering plant safety, operator responsibilities, workplace hazards, pre-use inspections and safer working practices around construction plant and machinery.
Safer plant operation starts with preparation
Operators and employers need to consider the machine, the work area, other workers and the tasks being carried out. Daily pre-use inspections, understanding machine controls, recognising defects, identifying services and maintaining safe exclusion zones all support safer plant operations.
Guidance in this knowledge centre is general information, not a replacement for machine-specific instructions, site rules, suitable risk assessments, supervision or formal training. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and the requirements that apply to your workplace.
