ASSESSMENT COMPLETED BY SWIFT EQUIPMENT

ASSESSMENT/REVISION DATE: 11/10/2021

This machine is supplied with an operations and maintenance manual provided by the
manufacturer. This manual should be read and completely understood prior to any
operation of this machine.
Any applicable licences or certificates of competency are also required to be obtained by the
operator prior to using this machine.
Untrained or Unauthorised use of the machine is forbidden.
 SCOPE OF RISK/HAZARD ASSESSMENT OF MOBILE PLANT.
This Risk/Hazard assessment of mobile plant is completed as a guide only and represents only the machine
listed in this report. The assessment is completed on the machine and expected normal operations. As working
environments of the machine change regularly, this report cannot cover all operating conditions or
environments of the machine. Therefore, risks and hazards involved with the operations of this machine must
be continuously monitored and assessed correctly when identified.
This Risk/Hazard assessment applies only to a machine in complete satisfactory working condition adhering to
the Manufacturer and Worksafe required maintenance and inspection programs.

RISK/HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND CONTROLS

Mobile machines working in dynamic environments require continuous assessment for risks and
hazards. Hazard control measures should be approached in the following order:
Eliminate: Remove the hazard to perform the task safely
Substitute: Provide an alternative solution to perform the task safely
Isolate: Contain the hazard so it no longer can cause harm to persons
Engineering: Provide or construct a safe alternative with manufacturers guards or barriers
Administrative: Provide policies, practices, training and guidelines to ensure safe work procedures
P.P.E: Ensure all persons are equipped with the correct Personal Protective Equipment associated
with the task. PPE includes, but not limited to safety footwear, safety glasses, gloves, hi-visibility
clothing and hard hats.
A HAZARD is something with the potential to cause harm.
A RISK is the likelihood of death, injury or illness might result due to the hazard.

RISK EVALUATION
HIGH: Immediately activate risk control measures to control the HAZARD IDENTIFIED. Do not proceed with
task or plant operation.
MEDIUM: Approach the task with caution. Look for alternative solutions for the task to be completed. Take all
reasonable steps to monitor the risk throughout the task. Use controls measures to reduce the chance of
hazard occurring.
LOW: Still approach task with caution. Take all reasonable steps to monitor the risk throughout the task. Use
control measures to reduce the chance of hazard occurring.

Swift Equipment has created this report as confirmation that a risk analysis has been conducted
onthis range of machines. This report outlines potential hazards that can be associated with the
operation, stability, inspection, transportation and maintenance of these products.
Swift Equipment machines have been designed in accordance with local standards AS1418.10 and
designverification to these standards has been completed by a third-party assessor. Each model has
received a design verification report as well as design registration certificate. Routine and Periodic
maintenance is required on these machines in accordance with AS2550.10

This report should be assessed each year by the owner and user of the machine to confirm
the accuracy of the information contained. HARZARDS identified may require alternative
control methods as the dynamic working conditions of the machine change. HAZARDS
identified around the specific working environment of the machine will need control
measures applied and added to the report.
