Posted By Renny Thomson I'd start off by carrying out a Manual Handling Assessment of the task. Obviously consider the load (dimensions, mass, handholds, stability, ability to grip etc.), the work environment (temperature, safe access, lighting, ventilation), work rates (rest, quanitity handled, time etc) persons (how tall, physical restrictions, pregnancy). Of course you main concern may be how to access the highest boxes, in which case you need to look at it from a work at height point of view and provide a suitable work platform for the persons to reach the upper levels, especially whilst at the absolute rear (doors) of the container. You could always ask the supplier to palletise the boxes so you could use mechanical means e.g a forklift accessing the container via ramp or loading dock.
