It is a comprehensive document that supports WHS compliance and safe operation across multiple aspects of mini skid steer equipment use, from mobilisation to shutdown.
Activities & Specific Tasks Covered
This document includes specific risk controls for:
- Pre-start inspection of mini skid steer equipment, attachments, safety devices, and fluid levels
- Safe mounting, dismounting, and operator positioning on stand-on and sit-on mini skid steers
- Operation of mini skid steers in congested work areas, including pedestrian and traffic interaction controls
- Selection, fitting, and secure use of attachments such as buckets, augers, trenchers, and pallet forks
- Loading, unloading, and securing mini skid steers on trailers, tilt trays, and transport vehicles
- Controls for operating on slopes, uneven ground, soft soil, and near excavations or edges
- Management of underground and overhead services, including utilities, powerlines, and buried assets
- Safe procedures for working near structures, vehicles, and other plant to prevent collision and crush injuries
- Implementation of exclusion zones, spotters, and communication protocols around operating plant
- Controls for dust, noise, vibration, and airborne contaminants generated by mini skid steer operations
- Refuelling, battery isolation, and management of spills, fire risk, and hot surfaces
- Emergency procedures, including plant isolation, incident response, and first aid considerations
- Shutdown, post-operation inspection, cleaning, and secure parking of mini skid steer equipment
