Access and Egress for Plant and Vehicles

by ADAM GITTINS, from the Community

This checklist helps assess vehicles and mobile plant for safe access and egress. It covers the condition and visibility of steps and ladders, placement and use of grab handles, non slip surfaces, unobstructed footholds, and maintaining three points of contact. Use it to verify that loads, accessories, and vehicle structures do not interfere with safe entry and exit, identify hazards such as grease or mud buildup, and document issues with notes and photos to support corrective actions and compliance.
