LEARNING POINTS / ACTIONS TAKEN
This procedure removes the hazard of paver Hopper entry, however manual handling remains an issue.
H&S Recommendation that all franchised tippers retro-fit powered tail boards within the next 6 months as this eliminates the hopper entry and manual handling hazards.
Fit to all Tippers within the next 12 months
