Safeguard Your Operations with a Plant and Equipment Risk Assessment for Telehandlers

Prioritize Safety and Compliance with JSEAsy

Telehandlers are indispensable on construction sites, agricultural operations, and various industrial projects due to their versatility in lifting, moving, and placing materials. However, their multifunctional nature also presents unique risks that can lead to accidents if not properly managed. At JSEAsy, we offer a Plant and Equipment Risk Assessment for Telehandlers to help you identify, assess, and control these risks, ensuring a safe and compliant work environment.

Why Is a Telehandler Risk Assessment Essential?

Operating a telehandler involves various hazards that can compromise the safety of your workers and the efficiency of your site, such as:

• Tipping Over: Especially when handling heavy loads, operating on uneven ground, or extending the boom to its full reach.
• Load Falling: The risk of loads becoming unstable and falling, potentially injuring workers or causing damage.
• Striking People or Objects: Due to the large size and limited visibility of the telehandler.
• Mechanical Failures: Issues like hydraulic leaks or brake failures that can lead to loss of control.
• Environmental Hazards: Including working near power lines, in confined spaces, or under poor weather conditions.

A comprehensive risk assessment is crucial for identifying these hazards and implementing control measures that protect your team, reduce downtime, and ensure regulatory compliance.

Why do you need a PERA?

Under Australian WHS laws, employers and contractors are required to identify and manage risks related to plant and equipment. Telehandlers carry notable dangers due to their load handling, mechanical parts, and the environments in which they operate.

The requirements are outlined in the Managing risks of plant in the workplace code of Practice.
