Posted By alex mccreadie Simon I think the lack of response to your post shows the complexity of the situation. My advice would be to get into your work clothes and have a day out with a Skip Driver. This will give you a better insight than trying to carry out Risk Assessments without the practical experience. Good Luck Alex
