Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines the safe operation and maintenance of ride-on floor sweepers. Only authorized personnel may operate the equipment, and operators must adhere to manufacturers' instructions. Pre-start checks include inspecting brooms, wheels, and controls, ensuring covers are fitted and secure, and verifying that batteries are charged or fuel levels are adequate. Fueling must be done with a funnel to prevent spills, and open flames must be avoided.

Operational precautions emphasize clearing the area of obstructions, wearing a P1 dust mask, and using the machine only in suitable conditions, avoiding toxic dusts like asbestos. Battery maintenance includes checking fluid levels, cleaning terminals, and charging according to guidelines to prevent overfilling and arcing. Repairs and cleaning tasks must be performed by authorized personnel following manufacturer instructions, using PPE such as gloves, eye protection, and dust masks to ensure safety.
