CHECKLIST FOR
MY PLANT
Safety and Security    
1 Seat belts - Plant to be fitted with seat belt made of a highly visible colour     upgrade upgrade upgrade  
2 Seat belts - Wheeled plant to be fitted with a minimum of three point anchorage inertia real seat belt (to minimise injury from forward impact incident), tracked plant with two point anchorage inertia reel seat belt (to minimise injury from rollover incident)     upgrade upgrade upgrade  
3 Seat belts - Plant to be fitted with a minimum of two point anchorage inertia reel seat belt      
4 Seat belts - Seat belt warning device (visual & audible) activated by load being applied on seat (body mass) or activation of any controls or PIR (Passive Infra Red), to indicate to the operator (within the cab) when the seat belt is not being worn.      
5 Seat belts - Green light fitted to exterior of cab, which is lit when seat belt is worn      
6 Isolation - A secure means of Padlocking off an isolation switch such as an isolock, to all sources of power (incl hydraulic and air etc.) from a position accessible from ground level. Padlock point must be capable of attaching a multihasp      
7 Isolation - Provide an additional means of isolating (with padlock) the main starter switch such that it does not isloate the two way radio, boarding, interior or engine bay lights. Items not isolated clarified by labelling.     upgrade upgrade upgrade  
8 Isolation - Labelling Isolation labels to be located both beside the isolation point (and where relevant on the outside of any cover). Labels to clearly identify the system they control and to be permenant, durable (for the life expectancy of the machine) and readable      
9 Isolation - Residual Energy Provide a method of identifying residual sources of stored energy e.g. pneumatic, hydraulic or radiator pressure, and a means of confirming that energy has been dissipated     Aspirational upgrade Aspirational upgrade Aspirational upgrade  
10 Radiators - Provide a radiator cap with an effective depressurisation interlock cap i.e. to ensure the radiator pressure has been released before allowing removal of radiator cap thus preventing scalds     Aspirational upgrade Aspirational upgrade Aspirational upgrade  
11 Chocks - The provision of appropriately sized wheel chocks for the machine, with storage on the machine, located so that a manual handling device can be used where required      
12 Tyres - Tyres filled with Inert Gas (N2) with recommendations in the manual for top ups for relevant machines     upgrade upgrade upgrade  
13 Starting/Keys - A key less method of starting the engine rather than via a generic manufacturer’s plant type key     upgrade upgrade upgrade  
14 Starting/Keys - A key less method of restricting engine start up to authorised users only e.g. numbered key pad, key fob etc, rather than via a generic manufacturer’s plant type key     upgrade upgrade upgrade  
15 Starting/Keys - A unique key starting the engine rather than via a generic manufacturer’s plant type key     upgrade upgrade upgrade  
16 Starting/Keys - A generic manufacturer’s plant type key to start the machine      
17 Security - Manufacturers to ensure parts ordering systems require a machine serial number to be given as part of the process, so that either parts availability can be restricted or the customer/authorities advised where parts are being ordered for machines reported as stolen      
18 Security - Security datatag system such as the CESAR type systems which is a register of owners and serial numbers     upgrade upgrade upgrade  
19 Security - A machine tracking system for tracking/locating stolen equipment.     upgrade upgrade upgrade

21 Guards - Anti vandal roller shutter guards     upgrade upgrade upgrade  
22 Guards - Anti vandal removable guards with secure storage     upgrade upgrade upgrade  
23 Alarms - Body up warning device visual & audible within the cab only when moving forward      
24 Governing Devices - The machine to only allow forward creep if the body is raised      
25 Fire - Provide a suitably sized portable fire extinguisher (Powder or AFFF), with designated fixing points both inside and outside the cab (in order for the customer to place it in the most suitable position for site security conditions). Inside cab location, positioned so as not to injure the operator in the event of a rollover incident or other accident      
26 Fire - Engine bays fitted with automatic fire suppression systems     upgrade upgrade upgrade  
27 Fire - Engine bays fitted with manual fire suppression systems including clearly labelled activation switch.     upgrade upgrade upgrade  
28 Fire - Label fire fighting equipment with red and white signs clearly visible (scaled appropriately to the machine size) to unambiguously indicate the location type and use of either the automatic, manual or portable equipment      
29 Fire - Electrical cables, hydraulic cables and fuel lines to be run and attached so as to avoid chaffing and other damage that may lead to a fire      
30 Isolation - Locking device fitted to all controls, such that they can not be accidentally knocked and activated when entering or leaving the cab or when maintaining     upgrade upgrade upgrade  
31 Governing Devices - Controls for forward and reverse manoeuvring to be designed so that they can only be unlocked once the operator has secured his seat belt and the seating mechanism registers a load being applied (body mass)     N/A N/A N/A  
32 Governing Devices - Automatic engine shut down when body mass is removed from seat or no operator present as detected by PIR, both with appropriate time delays     upgrade upgrade upgrade  
33 Alarms - A warning device (visual & audible) that indicates to the operator on leaving the cab, that the park brake has not been correctly set     upgrade upgrade upgrade  
34 Alarms - Boom and stick check valve and overload warning device. If to be used as a crane     N/A N/A N/A  
35 Alarms - Safe load indicator if used as a crane     N/A N/A N/A  
36 Alarms - Inclometer to indicate angle of track/machine frame in relation to the ground     upgrade upgrade upgrade  
37 Alarms - Inclometer to indicate angle of machine in both a front to back and sideways perspective to the ground with an audible and visual indicator in the cab before the critical slope angle is reached.     upgrade upgrade upgrade  
38 Alarms - Inclometer to indicate angle of machine in both a front to back and sideways perspective to the ground with an audible and visual indicator in the cab when critical slope angle is reached and to prevent the body being raised     upgrade upgrade upgrade  
39 Windscreen Guards - Windscreen grills/mesh, hinged for easy access for cleaning     N/A N/A N/A  
40 ROPS & FOPS to level 1      
41 FOPS to level 2 where there is a risk of large or heavy objects falling on the cab (as detailed in the standard)     upgrade  
42 Governing Device - Provision of steel loader ram sleeve to prevent uncontrolled lowering of frame & bucket during maintenance     N/A upgrade upgrade  
43 Governing Device - Check valves on loader frame cylinders (to prevent uncontrolled lowering of frame & bucket in the event of burst hose), when being used as a material handling arm(s)     N/A N/A N/A
