Working around moving plant or machinery is always hazardous – quite simply, pedestrians and machines do not mix well. However it is often necessary to be in the same location  when loading or unloading materials. This risk assessment covers the hazards involved in physically handling the materials as well as being around the lorry mounted crane and the vehicle itself.

This risk assessment has been written by a safety professional for you to use when you are unloading or are around moving vehicles.  We have considered the various hazards your employees and anyone else may be exposed to and have entered the  control measures that you may need.

These are only our suggestions. The form is fully editable, you may find that your particular site or location needs different answers, and these forms allow you to fill them in as you need.
