\n Quick answer<\/span>\n

What should a plant operator check before starting?<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
\n

Review the previous shift’s handover, check the work area, walk around the machine, inspect tyres or tracks, attachments and hydraulics, check the required fluids and cab safety equipment, then complete the required start-up and functional checks in a clear area.<\/p>\n

If everything required is satisfactory, record the inspection and continue. If something is wrong, record the defect and follow the workplace reporting procedure before using the machine.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n
