What Should You Never Do When Loading or Unloading a Container

Use a crane or forklift with attachments such as grabs, spikes or slippers, to avoid manual unloading. Never allow people in or around the container while using machinery to unload. If you’re using a crane and it’s necessary to guide the load, make sure it’s from a safe distance using a tag-line.

What should you never do when loading and unloading a container?

Use a crane or forklift with attachments such as grabs, spikes or slippers, to avoid manual unloading. Never allow people in or around the container while using machinery to unload. If you’re using a crane and it’s necessary to guide the load, make sure it’s from a safe distance using a tag-line.

How do you unload a container safely?

Wear appropriate clothing, as well as heavy-duty boots and gloves for your own safety. Provide enough lighting to make the inside of the container clearly visible. Install battery-powered lights if natural lighting is limited. Use a smooth sloping ramp when a loading bay is not available for easy access.
