Does the site layout not allow for guarded platforms from which the sheeting can be carried out? Al

Would have thought there would need to be training on the use of the equipment or evidence that the driver has had the training. In the event of an accident taking place you may have to defend a duty of care to those working on your site and this may include using equipment that they have not been trained in the use of.

In my years in the waste industry on landfill and waste transfer sites I never came across fall restraint equipment (arrest kit simply won't work as others have said) being provided for customers for de-sheeting. De-sheeting safely was their sole responsibility and I would want to keep it that way or you could end up in court next to them when something goes wrong. There are auto-sheeting options for most lorry types and for things like skips de-sheeting can be done at ground level. Even something as simple as a long pole is often all that is needed. I would recommend that site management get on the phone to the customers using this kit and agree a timescale for it to phased out and replaced with safer methods. If they stall or refuse then you simply inform them when the harnesses will be removed and remind them that you reserve the right to eject drivers from site who are acting unsafely.

I recon about half the work at height issue I deal with in my role in the art college can be solved by this single point!
