Study guidance reflecting the proven reality that many stockholding accidents could have been avoided. Practical advice is given to help manage risks and create a safer working environment. Addressed to all involved in stockholding, stock haulage, stock producing, stock use or anyone involved in training staff in such operations.

Examining industry risks, it pays particular attention to the most common hazards, including (un)loading of delivery vehicles, storage, lifting and manual handling. In turn, it then considers the most repeated accident features: musculoskeletal (eg back) injury, slips and trips, falls from height, being struck or crushed by falling or mobile stock and being struck by moving vehicles. Extensively illustrated with colour photographs, diagrams, cross sections and easy glance information tables.
