Document Summary

This document outlines safe work procedures for operating tailgate loaders, focusing on training, inspections, and safe operation practices. Only trained personnel are permitted to operate the equipment, following the manufacturer's instructions and ensuring that loads do not exceed specified weight limits. General precautions include inspecting the loader for damage, ensuring hydraulic systems are leak-free, and maintaining adequate space around the vehicle and loader during use.

Operational safety requires securing the vehicle with brakes, distributing loads evenly, and using edge protection when personnel are on the platform. Traffic safety measures include using barricades or cones to secure the area and wearing high-visibility garments near traffic. Operators must prevent unauthorized access and ensure the loader's rated capacity is displayed. Adherence to these procedures ensures the safe and effective use of tailgate loaders.
