If you are collecting the equipment for someone else please make sure this sheet is given to the equipment user to read. This sheet should be given to the site supervisor if the equipment is being hired for commercial use so that the information is available to all users.

Identifying the hazards, how you can get hurt and how you’ll prevent it
Knowing what plant and equipment you need
Only starting when you can do the job safely
Ensuring you are trained or experienced for the task
Communicating with everyone involved

Points to consider when planning a task.
