2. Annex 2: Pictorial examples of Access/ Egress to the (un)loading area
In order to avoid collisions with pedestrians, vehicles or fixed structures, trucks must have a free and unobstructed access to the (un)loading place.
 Adequate space to manoeuvre
 No obstructions
 No need to reverse a long distance (except with the help of an operator/banksman)
 Adequate signage (e.g. one way roads, warning: crossing forklifts etc.)
2.1. Some examples of poor housekeeping practices
2.2. Example of narrow access route
2.3. One example of segregation between truck and other traffic
There must be free egress from the loading/ unloading area. If the truck driver has inadequate visibility when coming onto a public road, he must be assisted by an operator.
3. Annex 3: Examples Behaviour Based Safety Observation reports
Enhancing safe behaviour is all about systematic and structured observation. Based on the type of activity and the level of risk involved, a specific interval can be determined to perform these observations. Usually a checklist is used in order to guide the observer to each task, as they have been allocated to each participant in the (un)loading procedure of the site.
Here is an example of such a checklist which has been designed for the typical activities that take place during a (un)loading process. You can use (parts of) this list as it is or you can adapt the list to the situation you are responsible for. You will note that the roles and responsibilities of operator and driver, as they have been allocated by the guideline in Operational responsibilities are integrated into each step of this list. Again it is up to the user to determine if this is the allocation of responsibilities that is applicable to the site and (un)loading procedure.
This checklist is an example, but we invite you to make use of a checklist, both for practical reasons as well as for documentation purposes.
