Version: 1.0

Updated: 1 December 2024

Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines the proper use, inspection, and maintenance of order-picking trolleys to prevent overloading and injuries. Trolleys must not exceed their rated capacity, and no person is allowed to ride on them. Selection involves ensuring the trolley is suited to the type of load and surface conditions, with larger wheels recommended for uneven terrain.

Pre-use inspections require checking the frame, wheels, and tyres for cracks, wear, or damage. Operational precautions include securing trolleys during loading and unloading, using proper manual handling techniques, and avoiding rough or uneven surfaces. PPE such as gloves and foot protection is mandatory to prevent hand and foot injuries. Maintenance tasks include oiling axles, inspecting wheel bearings, and storing trolleys in safe areas. Adherence to these guidelines ensures safe and effective use of order-picking trolleys.
