Vending machine installation and restocking activities contribute to workplace injuries through manual handling, electrical hazards, and equipment instability. Manual handling injuries from lifting heavy machines or stock account for significant workplace incidents. Electrical connection errors during installation can cause shocks or fires. Improper positioning can lead to machine tip-over incidents. This SWMS ensures systematic procedures for safe installation, secure positioning, proper electrical connections, and safe restocking practices that protect workers and maintain equipment stability.
Vending machine work involves several hazards requiring careful management and control measures.
Control measures follow the hierarchy of controls, prioritizing elimination and engineering solutions before administrative and PPE measures.
Personal protective equipment is essential for safe vending machine installation and restocking work.
Regular inspections and checks are critical for maintaining safety during vending machine operations.
Follow these systematic procedures for safe vending machine installation and restocking.
