Risk Assessments
Risk Assessment
Overview
An overview of key hazards and risks associated with Sloanebuilt equipment and its operation. Read alongside the relevant activity-specific risk assessments listed below.risk assessment for further detail.
Risk Assessment Coupling and Uncoupling
Hazards associated with fifth wheel and kingpin coupling, tow eye and drawbar connection, pull test requirements, air and electrical connection, and trailer stability during uncoupling. Covers false coupling risks and breakaway incidents.
Risk Assessment Hydraulic, Pneumatics, and Electrical Systems
Risks across all hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical systems fitted to Sloanebuilt equipment — including tipper hoists, hydraulic tailgates, ramp cylinders, rollback systems, wideners, air brakes, air suspension, body raise alert circuits and electric-over-hydraulic controls.
Risk Assessment Tailgate
Hazards associated with standard and two-way tailgates, grain chutes and spouts, supplementary (grain/sludge) locks, tailgate chocks, access doors and ladders, run-out chains, tailgate finger indicator systems, and tailgate electrical components.
Risk Assessment Tipping Operation
Hazards across all tipping operations — including site assessment, exclusion zones, body prop use, body raise alert systems, overhead powerlines, and configuration-specific risks for chassis tippers, tip over axle trailers and vehicle combinations including B-Trains and dog trailers.
Risk Assessment Ramp Operation
Hazards associated with the deployment, use, locking, securing, and transport of all ramp types fitted to Sloanebuilt equipment — including bi-fold ramps, gravity-lowering ramps, and hydraulic or pneumatic lifting ramps — as well as ground conditions, ramp surface integrity, loading and unloading operations, and load restraint.
DownloadRisk Assessment Falls From Height
Fall hazards across all Sloanebuilt build types, covering tarp operation, body entry and egress, access door and ladder use, flat top and drop deck load restraint, curtainsider top curtain tensioning, mezzanine deck loading, and ramp deck access.
Safety Awareness Articles
Clean as You Go
Why keeping a clean, organised cab and worksite is a habit worth building — and the consequences.
Attitude vs Ability
Why skilled, experienced operators can still cause incidents — and why the right attitude matters as much as technical competence.
Mind Wandering
How the autopilot effect in repetitive work creates real risk and why staying mentally present during routine tasks matters.
Self Awareness and Safety
Knowing your limits, recognising when you're not fit to operate, and how your awareness affects the people around you.
Towing Safety
Speed, coupling, overloading, and load distribution — why the margin for error gets smaller when you're towing a trailer.
DownloadOverhead Powerlines
Safe approach distances, what to do before raising any equipment, and how to respond if equipment contacts a powerline.
Dual Tyre Pressure Matching
Why mismatched dual tyres cause tyre wear, heat build-up and blowout risk — what to check.
Exclusion Zones
The exclusion zone types relevant to Sloanebuilt tipping and ramped equipment, and the requirements for each zone during operations.
Load and Weight Distribution
How load position affects vehicle handling, braking and axle mass compliance — and the principles of loading correctly.
