| Abstract |
This leaflet is aimed at those responsible for vehicle safety in their workplace. It has been produced to help people involved in transport in the workplace reduce the chances of accidents happening. It is aimed at both managers and operators and identifies some of the safety problems for common vehicle operations. It provides general advice for employers on carrying out a workplace transport risk assessment and is appropriate for most workplaces where transport is used, especially for larger commercial or industrial sites. Every year, a significant number of people are killed by accidents involving vehicles in the workplace, and many more are injured. A lot of damage is also done to property and profit. Better planning, training and awareness, and the appropriate use of vehicles, can avoid most of these accidents. Contents: Introduction; Risk assessment; Organising for safety; A safe site; Safe vehicles; Managing the risks; Reversing; Parking; Coupling and uncoupling; Loading and unloading; Tipping; Avoiding overturns; Avoiding falls; References. |
