Please read the two latest Safety Alerts.

They can be found on the UK News download page HERE

The first Safety Alert highlights the need for suitable edge protection such as toe boards or guardrails wherever anyone needs to work at height and there is potential for them to lose their footing. Pre-task risk assessment, Take 5, is designed to help identify that suitable protective measures are in place before the job begins.

The second Safety Alert highlights the need to ensure suitable and sufficient edge protection is provided on traffic routes, whilst in this instance the vehicle overturned the edge protection prevented a far worse outcome. A contributory factor was the gradient of the haul road, emphasising the need to ensure traffic routes are designed and maintained to the required standard. Operators should be aware of weather and surface conditions and be trained in the techniques required to deal with events that may affect vehicle stability.
