Guidance on specificloads such as paper reels, steel or timber is available from relevant sectors.Tank containers cannot be fitted with permanent guard rails as they have to comply withcontainer design requirements for stacking on board ships. The ITCO guidance referred to inthe section on work on tanker tops is relevant where drivers have to access tank containers inports. The port should provide a safe area for any access, and the general guidance applies.Specific guidance on work at height on car <strong>transport</strong>ers is in SIM 05/2007/03Traffic flow management.Issues include:• segregation in high risk areas;• marked and signposted walkways;• restricted access for private vehicles, delivery vehicles, taxis etc ;• driver training for on-site mini-buses etc.;• adequacy of lighting;• vehicle visibility.Ship/shore interface.• Control and supervision of vehicle/ pedestrian access to Ro-Ro bridge and vessel ramp.• Pedestrian segregation and gangway/ ladder or ramp access.Ro-Ro vessels.• Pedestrian routes marked and segregated; restricted pedestrian access to internal rampsduring vehicle movements; signalling system.• Tween deck lifts not for pedestrian use when loaded; vehicle drivers to remain in cab withbrakes applied during descent/ ascent; edge protection at openings; interlocked gates orbarriers; audible warnings.• Problems on decks due to congestion on decks and reversing vehicles; High noiselevels; poor lighting levels. Need signaller for each gang; whistle stop system as part ofsafe system of work; high quality PPE and high vis with retro reflective strips on jacketand legs.Vehicle issues.• Target areas include FLTs, clamp trucks etc moving between dockside/ MAFFIS/ shedsincluding moving inside sheds and eg timber stacks. General guidance on workplace<strong>transport</strong> safety applies, including adequacy of control measures, lighting etc.• Drivers of large vehicles should have adequate visibility from the driver’s position. Riskassessments for each kind of vehicle are required. Visibility aids to be used inconjunction with good practice. SIM 05/2004/55 refers to a 2004/05 project on use of newtechnology in ports. Guidance for other sectors such as quarries may be applicable.• The Sector is currently working with PSSL and IRTE on assessing systems for work forcoupling and uncoupling of tugs. In some cases the IRTE guidance (Code of Practice on
