16. When you open the rear doors or tailgate on the Roll on/off containers, you must wear
your Hard Hat. You must take extreme caution when opening the doors that they do
not swing open and that you are clear of any falling debris. Ensure extra care is taken
in windy conditions. Always ensure that the doors are secured back in the open
position before you start tipping. If you need to clear debris to close the doors always
keep the door or doors safely chained back and close them one at a time. The wind
can pick up and sail the door at considerable force towards your working area.
17. When tipping any Roll on-off container, you must always tip on a level
base. If you are unable to tip on level ground, you must notify your
Operations Manager and ask that they can find you a level area to tip
your loaded container.
18. Extreme caution must always be taken with regard to overhead
obstructions, such as bridges and cables. The Roll On/Off Vehicle
carries various sizes of container, so you must always be aware of your
overall height as to whether or not you can safely travel along certain
roads and under overhead obstructions.
19. Do not under any circumstances raise or lower the container when
parked near or under mains power cables or pylons as there is a risk of electrocution.
20. Ensure that any damaged or in-operative skips are reported to your Operations
Manager or the Transport Office.

circuited or interfered with as they are
there for everyone’s safety.
