Assess and verify controls for plant and equipment used in retail store operations, including walkie stackers, pallet handling, shopping trolley collection, store front roller doors, and passenger or goods lifts. This checklist guides managers through hazard identification, risk rating, training and competency checks, preventative maintenance, daily pre-start inspections, safe operating procedures, and sign-offs. It helps ensure only approved equipment is used, issues are tagged out promptly, contractors follow work method statements, and controls are in place for trafficked areas, outdoor work, lighting, biological hazards, and customer interactions—supporting compliance with Target standards.
