Hi all, after some advice, we are involved in haulage involving trailers (bulk sawdust / other lose materials). Have had issues (accidents) with drivers sheeting trailers by hand (manually - pulling sheets over trailers from ground level) - falling / losing thier footing etc. We are going over to hydraulic operated sheets, however, still have many existing manually operated trailers in use. Any suggestions please? They are trained in sheeting / CPD / memos have been sent. Thanks.

I've sent a PM with some info but in case you don't receive you can check out this page on the HSE site which has a few suggestions (suspect you've probably already seen this though)?

Thanks (grim72) for the reply. The problem seems to be falling when sheeting (operative at ground level);  - any further thoughts?
