Everyone must be safe while moving loads. Safe systems of work include:

• Using tag lines
• Using a competent dogman to control loads suspended from a crane (including a telehandler)
• Keeping loading areas clear of people
• Keeping areas beneath suspended loads clear of people
• Creating an isolation zone (or engineered barricade) around a vehicle while it’s being loaded and unloaded – to protect both workers and the public
• Using a spotter if the loader/unloader is unable to see all areas of the zone
• Planning the load so that no worker is at risk of a fall from height to strap/unstrap or dog/rig a load.
• Truck beds having handrails or using platform ladders so that workers are not climbing loads that put them at a risk of fall.
