Mid UK Recycling Driver Risk Assessment & Safe System of Work
Collection of a Skip:
On arrival the driver should complete the “Driver Risk Assessment” to identify if it's safe to
collect or deliver the skip. See the Driver Risk Assessment above.
Identify the contents of the skip (during a collection) are safe and within the parameter walls of
the skip. (See overloaded skips). Remember Skips need to be netted at ground level and before
you take them onto the road.
➢ Establish communication with the customer, if possible.
➢ Identify the location for the skip is to be collected.
➢ Reverse into position and prepare the skip for collection.
➢ The driver is to remain vigilant throughout the operation and if any person or animal comes
into the driver's working area. Then work must stop until it's all clear.
