If you have pedestrian and heavy machinery traffic alongside truck movements in your warehouse or yard, you must have a set of health and safety rules and a site induction to ensure that accidents don’t happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Truck drivers and pedestrian workers have been badly injured<\/a> and even killed<\/a> by being in the wrong place at the wrong time while forklifts are operating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ideal scenario<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Any truck driver visiting the site for the first time should complete a health and safety induction. The important thing is to ensure that they have read and understood it; simply sending an email or giving them a sheet of paper when they arrive does not ensure this. We recommend using a custom module in our Fleet Driver Skills course<\/a> and inviting the truck driver to complete the module before they are allowed on-site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A controlled gate so that a truck can be held back if it’s unsafe to proceed is ideal. A site hazard board at the entrance will outline the minimum requirements for personal protective equipment, the site speed limit, any hazards present such as dangerous goods<\/a> or forklifts, and the direction of travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A site hazard board should note all major hazards in a workplace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Maintaining a one-way system in a yard or warehouse minimises the need for reversing. If a truck does need to reverse, providing a spotter to help the driver will reduce risks. Team members should have done a vehicle guiding or spotter course<\/a> so that they know the concepts and principles of giving signals to a driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trucks should have clearly marked bays on flat, stable ground where they park for loading or unloading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

\"\"
For docks, vehicle bays should be marked<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Marked pedestrian walkways from the bays are helpful to give defined areas where forklift operators could expect a pedestrian to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Employees should be trained on what hazards to expect around trucks. For example, to stay out of the way of tail lifts<\/a> as they come down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Truck drivers should have clear instructions for where to wait while unloading or loading; it’s not acceptable to have the truck driver standing next to the forklift driver while they are unloading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All pedestrians and the truck driver should be wearing hi-vis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forklifts should have lights as well as audible warnings when reversing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some organisations offer tea and coffee for truck drivers while they wait. This is a good encouragement for them to not wait with the truck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more of these suggestions that you can implement, the less likely you are to have an incident in your workplace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
