Description: / Use of Light Utility Vehicles by food production staff - Procedures to allow for the safe use of Light Utility Vehicles (or LUV’s) by the food production staff
Hazard Cause / Effect / Corrective Actions
Hazard Description / Cause / Effect / Initial Risk Rating / Possible Controlling Measure / Closing Comments / Status / Final Risk Rating
Improper use of LUV results in injury to the operator and/or passenger. / Operator or passenger not seated in proper position in LUV. / Personnel fall from LUV resulting in injury. / II D / Only authorized and properly trained individuals are allowed to operate LUV’s. If equipped with seatbelts they are used at all times. Passengers utilize available handholds or grab bars at all times when LUV is in motion. Head, legs and feet to remain inside passenger area at all times while LUV is in operation. / Supervisory staff ensures only trained and authorized personnel operate LUV’s. Use is monitored for compliance with safety guidelines. / II E
Same / Operator or passenger fails to keep arms, legs, feet, etc. inside moving LUV. / Body parts extending outside of the passenger area of the LUV become injured. / II D / Same / Same / II E
Improper use of LUV results in injury to the operator/passenger, injury to a bystander, damage to LUV or its cargo and/or damage to other equipment/structures. / LUV roll-over due to unsafe operation of loaded LUV. / Injury to LUV operator and/or passenger. Injury to bystanders. Damage to LUV. Damage to LUV cargo. Damage to other equipment/structures. / II D / Especially when loaded: LUV’s are to be operated slowly while turning; LUV’s are to be driven up and down slopes rather than across slopes; LUV’s are not to be stopped on hills and slopes. / Same / II E
Same / LUV roll-over due to unsafe operation in wet conditions or on rough terrain
. / Same / II D / When operating LUV on wet or rough terrain: LUV’s are to be operated slowly while turning; LUV’s are to be driven up and down slopes rather than across slopes; Increased stopping distance of LUV is accounted for; LUV’s are not to be stopped on hills and slopes. / Same / II E
Same / Accident due to operation of LUV outside of designated areas. / Same / II D / LUV’s operate only in authorized areas (posted roads, facility staging areas, etc.). In populated, congested or tight areas, LUV speeds are to be kept to a minimal level. / Same / II E
Same / Accident due to operation of LUV in reckless manner (horseplay). / Same / II D / Staff trained and fully understands that any reckless use of LUV-type equipment will not be tolerated. Witnessed reckless use of LUV-type equipment results in immediate and permanent loss of operating privileges and immediate disciplinary action. / Same / II E
Same / Untrained and unauthorized personnel attempt to use LUV. / Same / II D / Only properly trained and authorized staff permitted to operate LUV’s. Violation of policy should result in immediate disciplinary action. / Same / II E
Same / Accident due to operation of LUV in presence of bystanders or in close proximity to structures or equipment. / Bystander struck by LUV and injured. Equipment/structures struck by LUV and damaged. / II D / LUV’s are required to follow all posted speed limits. In populated areas, operating speeds are to be reduced to a safe level relative to the number and proximity of bystanders OR proximity of adjacent equipment or structures. / Same / II E
Unsafe LUV refueling practices result in injury to the operator/passenger, injury to a bystander, damage to LUV or its cargo and/or damage to other equipment/structures. / Accident during refueling of hydrocarbon powered LUV. / Overfilling of fuel system results in spillage possibly resulting in a fire or explosion causing injury or equipment damage. / II D / LUV refueling completed in a designated area free from unnecessary personnel. Care is taken during refueling to avoid overfilling of fuel system (no “topping off” of tank). Refueling area maintained free from smoking or other ignition sources. Approved portable fire extinguisher present in refueling locations. / Same / II E
Same / Accident during recharging of electrically powered LUV. / Improper connection of charging cable or attempted use of damaged charging components results in fire or explosion causing injury or equipment damage. / II D / LUV recharging is completed in a designated area free from unnecessary personnel. Electrical charging components visually inspected prior to each use. Refueling area maintained free from smoking or other ignition sources. Approved portable fire extinguisher present in recharging locations. / Same / II E
Same / Same / Recharging is performed in wet location resulting in electrical shorting causing injury or equipment damage. / II D / LUV recharging is completed in a designated area free from unnecessary personnel. Electrical charging components visually inspected and dried prior to use. Approved portable fire extinguisher present in recharging locations. / Same / II E
