This reverse vending machine safety toolbox talk is written specifically for retail and trading environments where bottle‑return machines are installed in stores, pop‑up shops, seasonal kiosks or market stalls. It outlines the principal hazards – crushing injuries from moving parts, cuts from broken glass, manual‑handling strain when emptying heavy collection bins, and slip risks from spilt liquids – and links them to the legal duties under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) and the British Standard BS EN 16130.
Staff will learn how to perform a visual pre‑shift inspection, keep the intake clear, isolate power before clearing jams, use the correct plastic tool, wear protective gloves when dealing with broken glass and apply safe manual‑handling techniques when moving the collection bin. Each do and don’t item provides a clear, step‑by‑step instruction that can be read aloud in a brief safety huddle.
The content is fully editable, shareable and can be customised to match your store layout or specific machine model. It complies with the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 and the British Standard BS EN 16130, helping you meet statutory obligations while protecting employees and customers.
Compliant with: Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) and BS EN 16130.
