Employers should: Where possible, provide deep treads with even spaces in height between. This ensures a secure foothold.
Consider the use of handholds — employees snould maintain three points of contact when ascending or descending.
Consider the use of slip-resistant materials— vehicles operate in all weathers, and steps can become slippery.
O Consider footwear — provide boots with grips and slip-resistant soles.
O Enforce safe access and egress; impose disciplinary action for failure to comply.
O Provide good lighting around traffic routes since poor lighting disguises hazards. Ensure consistency in surface finishes to load areas.
Ensure anti-slip surfaces are used for the lorry's load bed and the threshold. Review conditions regularly.
Secure straps and ropes, and eliminate waste materials such as shrink wrap and pallets.
Provide cleaning equipment — spillages, particularly around fuel tanks, cause slip hazards.
