The Plant and Equipment Maintenance and Use Procedure is designed to help ensure that all plant and equipment used within the workplace are operated safely, efficiently, and maintained in optimal working condition. This procedure aims to minimise the risk of accidents, breakdowns, and costly repairs, while maximising the productivity and lifespan of machinery. It outlines the requirements for regular inspections, maintenance schedules, safe usage, and the proper handling of plant and equipment to help ensure that these resources are always in safe working order.
