Earthmoving and Mobile Plant SOP Pack

24 Safe Operating Procedure templates: state-specific, editable

What this is

A pack of 24 Safe Operating Procedures for the plant and equipment used in earthmoving and mobile plant work. Each SOP is a short step-by-step for using a piece of gear safely, covering the hazards, PPE, pre-start checks, the safe method and shutdown.

They're editable Word docs, written for the state you select. If you're building a wider system, see how these documents sit inside an HSEQ or ISO system. Bonus: these SOPs come free with the Earthmoving and Mobile Plant SWMS trade pack.

Need a safety document we don’t have?

Our catalogue covers 105 trades, but not every job fits one. If a principal contractor has asked for something specific, or the work you do is not in the list, we write it from scratch for your trade and your state. Same format as everything else here: editable Word, your state's Act and regulator, ready to put your details on. We can also brand your SOP pack with your logo and company details. We’ll write it for you →
