Posted By holmezy As part of our daily business, we get goods delivered into our sites in large freight containers, (the sort you see piled up at any container port), we then have to unload them which involves an amount of working at height, ie ladders, to undo the security wire, to remove the taupauline cover, to remove the cross strutts etc. We also have to regularly climb onto the top of the goods to undo or remove securing wooden batons that have been nailed in place to stop the goods moving in transit. Does anyone else out there have any experience of doing this, hopefully in a safer way than we do it now. If anyone has got a "really" safe method, other than the obvious cherry picker which has space constraints etc (gantry's, platforms etc) I would love to come and see it in action!! Holmezy Advice gratefully accepted....
