Multi-Tyre Roller Op.

The Multi-Tyre Roller Operating Procedure (SOP-CPT-005) addresses vital safety precautions for operating multi-tyre rollers. It covers hazards such as runover risks, tip-over incidents, and inhalation of asphalt fumes, providing essential guidance for operators. Compliance with this SOP ensures worker safety and adherence to the Work Health and Safety Act 2011, making it indispensable for construction and civil works professionals involved in asphalt compaction projects.
