I have recently taken over as H&S Manager of a construction co.  An operative has complained (understandably) about plant sliding off the ramps when offloading/loading plant (bobcats & ride on rollers) due to 'metal on metal' in the icy winter weather and potential associated injuries/fatalities.

They drive 10 ton lorries so, in my opinion, a cable winch wouldn't work.  I have contacted the training provider who delivers loading and securing plant and he tells me there is no official legislation for this.  I have also contacted the supplier who is getting back to me.

Has anyone experienced this before and actually managed to reduced the risk?  Anti-skid strips? Rubber covers for traction??

Thanks
