Some common hazards related to loading and unloading from vehicles include:

 Toppling of improperly stacked or secured cargo;

 Breaking or failure of lashing and dunnage equipment;
 Unsafe access to and egress from the lorry or trailer bed; and
 Falling off the loading platform.

10 SAFE LOADING AND UNLOADING

In general, loading and unloading operations should be carried out at designated

areas as much as possible. All personnel involved must adhere to work instructions
given by the person in charge of the operation.

Refer to the table below for some examples of good practices:

Task Examples of good practices

Parking  Park on firm and level ground.

 Ensure parking brakes are fully engaged.
 Extend all stabilisers fully.
 Put on wheel chocks.

Loading  Don't overload the vehicle.

 Stack lighter loads on top of heavier loads.
 Spread the loads out evenly for balanced weight
distribution.
 Secure and lash the loads properly.
 Ensure that the stacking arrangement is stable

Unloading  Ensure that the loads have not shifted during

transportation before unloading.
 Ensure that all equipment used for unloading are in good
working condition.
