The Road Haulage Association has a division responsible for tippers and publishes a comprehensive guide to safe operation for members. The advice includes: never tip a vehicle if in any doubt; never walk behind or to the side of a vehicle; never leave a vehicle unattended; and never attempt to clear any obstructions without lowering the vehicle body.

The HSE provides several guides. Separating people and vehicles can be found on www.hse.gov.uk/workplacetransport/separating.htm Sheeting is available at www.hse.gov.uk/information/sheeting.htm and a more general guide to safety in the haulage sector is on www.hse. gov.uk/pubns/indg379.pdf
