A Plant and Equipment Risk Assessment is a systematic process used to identify, assess, and control risks associated with the use of machinery, equipment, appliances, and tools in the workplace. Its purpose is to ensure plant is used, handled, stored, maintained, and transported safely, and to prevent unauthorised modification, misuse, or interference.
The assessment must be undertaken with reference to applicable legislation, Australian Standards, Codes of Practice, and manufacturer instructions. It must also consider the competence, training, and experience of persons required to operate or work with the plant.
This Tanker Trailer – Semi Plant & Equipment Risk Assessment template helps identify and control hazards associated with operating tanker trailers with an ATM over 4.5 tonnes. It covers key risks such as liquid surge, rollover, load instability, spills, braking distance, and vehicle stability.
Designed for construction, civil, transport, and site operations, the assessment includes practical control measures to support compliance with Australian OSH requirements. The document is ready to implement or customise within the JSEAsy safety documentation system, helping businesses quickly integrate tanker trailer risks into their plant safety registers.
