Order Picking Platform

Version: 1.0

Updated: 1 December 2024

Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines the safe selection, inspection, and use of order-picking platforms in workplaces. Only industrial ladders and platforms compliant with Australian Standard AS/NZS1892 may be used. Platforms with heights of 2 meters or more must be fitted with fall protection devices like safety rails or chains to prevent falls. Non-conforming ladders and platforms are prohibited.

Pre-use inspections must check for damage, cleanliness, and the proper function of non-slip feet, rails, and castors. Platforms must be set up on firm, level surfaces and positioned close to the work area to avoid overreaching. Workers must maintain three points of contact when climbing or descending and ensure their footwear has non-slip soles. Carrying items by hand while climbing is discouraged, and other means should be used to move tools or materials. Adherence to these protocols ensures the safe and effective use of order-picking platforms.
