Vehicle activities (continued) Are the vehicles braked and stabilised as appropriate, to prevent unsafe movement during loading and unloading? Is loading and unloading carried out so that, as far as possible, the load is spread evenly to prevent the vehicle or trailer from becoming unstable? Are checks made to make sure that loads are secured and arranged so that they cannot move about? Are checks made to make sure that vehicles are not loaded with more material than they can carry? Has the need for people to go on the load area of the vehicle been removed where possible? 12 Check that tipping is carried out safely. For example: Do visiting drivers report to the site manager for any relevant instructions before tipping? Health and Safety Executive Yes/No If ‘No’, see paragraph 800 Yes/No If ‘No’, see paragraph 801 Yes/No If ‘No’, see paragraphs 759-780 Yes/No If ‘No’, see paragraphs 753-756 Yes/No If ‘No’, see paragraphs 806-809, 1009-1061 Yes/No If ‘No’, see paragraphs 935, 939 Are non-essential staff kept well clear of tipping areas? Yes/No If ‘No’, see paragraph 933 Does tipping happen on ground that is level and stable, and at a place that is clear of overhead obstructions such as power lines, pipework etc. Where sites are not level and stable, are the tipping faces safe for vehicles involved in tipping? For example, are they compacted and with no significant side slopes? Are suitably sized wheel stops provided where vehicles need to reverse before tipping? Are tailgates secured open before tipping, and removed completely when necessary? Do drivers check that their loads are evenly distributed across the vehicle before tipping? Yes/No If ‘No’, see paragraph 904 Yes/No If ‘No’, see paragraphs 907-911 Yes/No If ‘No’, see paragraphs 679, 910-911 Yes/No If ‘No’, see paragraphs 918-925, 930-932 Yes/No If ‘No’, see paragraph 946 Are the drivers experienced enough to anticipate loads sticking? Yes/No If ‘No’, see paragraphs 955-960 Do drivers always make sure that the body is completely empty, and drive no more than a few metres forward to make sure the load is clear? 13 Check that sheeting and unsheeting is carried out safely. For example: Is sheeting and unsheeting carried out in a safe place, away from passing traffic and pedestrians and sheltered from strong winds and bad weather? Are the vehicles parked on level ground, with their parking brakes on and the ignition key removed? Are gloves, safety boots and, where necessary, eye and head protection provided and used? Is there room for using mechanical sheeting systems to avoid the need for manual sheeting? Where manual sheeting is unavoidable, is there a system in place that avoids the need for a person to climb on the vehicle or load, for example by sheeting from the ground or by providing a platform from which loads can be sheeted? 14 Check that coupling and uncoupling is carried out safely. For example: Is the semi-trailer parking brake always applied before the hoses are disconnected, instead of using the emergency brakes to secure the trailer? Do drivers check that the ground is able to support the semi-trailer and landing legs before uncoupling? Are landing legs always fully extended, properly padded and locked in place as necessary? Yes/No If ‘No’, see paragraphs 965-966 Yes/No If ‘No’, see paragraphs 823, 828, 843 Yes/No If ‘No’, see paragraph 846 Yes/No If ‘No’, see paragraph 878 Yes/No If ‘No’, see paragraphs 832-837, 849-859 Yes/No If ‘No’, see paragraphs 498-522, 841-842, 868-887 Yes/No If ‘No’, see paragraphs 584-591, 709-712, 719-720, 730-734 Yes/No If ‘No’, see paragraphs 478-487, 717, 732-734 Yes/No If ‘No’, see paragraphs 484-489, 581, 730-731 Workplace transport safety Page 128 of 144
Vehicle activities (continued) Is the platform area behind the tractive unit kept clear, as clean as possible, and well lit, to help prevent falls? Do drivers know how to move any adjustable fairings to get behind their tractive unit easily, and are they doing so? Are the drivers experienced enough to know whether the fifth wheel is working properly? Health and Safety Executive Yes/No If ‘No’, see paragraphs 725-726, 1057 Yes/No If ‘No’, see paragraphs 726, 1010-1012 Yes/No If ‘No’, see paragraphs 631-632, 642-647, 730 Are gloves and safety boots provided and used where necessary? Yes/No If ‘No’, see paragraph 729 Are drivers wearing high-visibility clothing when they work around other moving vehicles? Yes/No If ‘No’, see paragraphs 235, 647, 729 Workplace transport safety Page 129 of 144
