Design emergency response and rescue arrangements covering loading and unloading risk.
Assessing Truck Loading and Unloading Risk in Warehouses
Practical training in loading and unloading risk, grounded in real cases and applied to your own operation.
Course Overview
The cost of an incident involving loading and unloading risk lands on production, insurance, licence and reputation at once. Safety performance on unloading risk degrades quietly during periods when nothing goes wrong. Improvement in this aspect of occupational health and safety stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place loading and unloading risk among the areas with the widest performance spread. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of the wider occupational health and safety agenda is examined, not just described. The course covers unloading risk at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. It is designed for mixed groups, so that loading and unloading risk is examined from more than one functional angle. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in unloading risk before they become incidents. The final module sets out how progress on this strand of occupational health and safety will be evidenced six months later.

Unloading risk: protective equipment and its verification
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Making near-miss reporting on unloading risk safe to do

- Assess long-term health exposure created by unloading risk and arrange surveillance.
- Confirm that controls on loading and unloading risk sit as high up the hierarchy as reasonably practicable.

Session 2The cost of loading and unloading risk and how to present it
