SWMS AUS

Soil Compactor

Operation of pedestrian plate compactors, upright (trench) rammers and remote/ride-on compaction equipment for soil and pavement compaction.

Objective

To carry out compaction so that operators are protected from vibration, noise and crush injuries, trench compaction does not expose anyone to collapse, and equipment is operated and shut down safely.

When you'd use this SWMS
