Operatives to keep off the main carriageway whilst vehicles are moving. If access to the carriageway is required, operatives may require that a lookout is in position before the works take place. Work will not be carried out if traffic flow is heavy. Works will be planned so that traffic risks are minimal. Operatives must ensure that good visibility of traffic movements is maintained at all times, especially when loading or unloading vehicles on a live carriageway Consider the use of lane closures Or Traffic management Parked vehicles Vehicles striking pedestrians or parked vehicles All operatives must ensure that the minimum PPE requirements are maintained whilst on shift. Minimum PPE required for this task is Class 2 Hi-Viz vest, safety boots and gloves Ideally vehicles should not be parked on the live carriageway.

Vehicles being loaded/unloaded from the back of the vehicle must be done so under the control of a banksman to ensure that operatives can be made aware of any hazards in a timeous manner. Flashing beacons and/or hazard lights must be used when vehicles are stationary or slowing in live carriageways. Consider the use of lane closures Or Traffic management

3 Ref No 6.1 Physical Handling Load/Type Manual Handling Weight of bags Holding, handling, lifting or carrying litter or bin bags presents a risk to operatives due to unknown or hazardous contents Risk of strains or injury from handling bags Simple rules of hygiene to be followed at all times Cover cuts and abrasions before starting work.

Even when using tools, wear gloves at all times to protect skin If material is dangerous unpleasant or at risk of causing contamination, store in suitable and safe containers to dispose. Keep litter and sacks away from body and legs to prevent accidental injury or cuts. Do not overfill bags to make them large and therefore more likely to contact body or legs Place liquids in sealable containers, not bags or loose boxes. Do not throw bags or material as this will increase the risk of spillage and contamination Do not overfill bags. Consider the weight of the bag, not how full it may be. Do not place unnecessary heavy items into bags to relieve the weight. Whenever possible, avoid loading bags by hand and use mechanical means. Do not climb on vehicles or skips to load bags into it as this increases the risks Avoid double or triple handling whenever possible as this increases the risk of coming into contact with unwanted materials
