Health & Safety

Safe Loading and Unloading

You are required to load your unit in accordance with the New Zealand Truck Loading Code which is available on the tablet.
You must follow the instructions of the loaders at all times.
You must adhere to the Exclusion Zones whilst loading or unloading and obey the instructions given by the forklift/hoist driver.
You must never unstrap or unchain your whole load at once. If you drive a curtain side truck, caution should always be observed when opening a curtain as the contents may have moved in transit, and may not always be obvious from the outside.
Safety cages MUST be used when working at height, this includes accessing mez floors and all freight above 1.2m.
When working on the top of your load, a hard hat and chin strap must be worn and where possible, an observer must be present. Ensure your vehicle is parked more than 1.2m away from any structure.
