New edition addressed primarily to sited managers and supervisors but also instructive for self-employed workers, contractors, safety representatives, vehicle operators, trade associations and commercial landlords. Typically for medium or large industrial and commercial operations; but also useful on, or for, construction sites, farms, quarries, forestry operations and many other workplaces where transport is used, regardless of business size.
In addition to general advice, eg risk management and exploring broader subject matter, such as basic safety standards required of sites, vehicles and drivers, the guidance also reflects the spectrum of pertinent considerations in detail. Accordingly, relevant issues including reversing, parking, coupling/uncoupling, loading/unloading, load safety, trimming, sheeting, netting, tipping and preventing vehicles from overturning are among those examined.
