Yes / No
Work Equipment
• All employees operating RM Material Handling Equipment (MHE) have been trained and authorised to do so with documented evidence.
• There is documented evidence that existing employees have completed manual handling training – see Content on Demand or Logistics specific training.
• Only suitably competent and authorised persons use specific equipment such as dock levellers, trailer doors, boom conveyors etc.
• All new employees have received an appropriate site induction including safe instructions for loading & unloading activity.
• There is documented evidence that the Unit Manager and sufficient deputies have been trained in ‘A Safe Place to Work’ (or equivalent) and PIC Essentials within the last 3 years.
• A Workplace Onsite Risk Assessment has been completed. All elements relevant to vehicle/person risk in the loading and unloading area have been reduced to a minimum of Moderate.
• The loading and unloading area has been defined on site to ensure risk is assessed by either the Workplace Onsite Risk Assessment or the Yard Risk Assessment and safety controls are clear.
• No individuals operate as a Yard Marshal or Banksman unless trained and authorised to do so. See guidance on Yard Marshals and Banksman.
ROYAL MAIL GROUP RISK MANAGEMENT
STEP 1: Loading & Unloading at Large Vehicle Sites (Royal Mail Operations) - Pre Assessment ControlsAll of the following Pre-Assessment Controls must be in place in order to validate the Task Risk Assessment. Use the drop down boxes on the right hand side to confirm
completion.
Risk Assessment
Workplace
• A Yard Risk Assessment has been completed and risks reduced to a minimum of Moderate.
• A Severe Weather Preparation Checklist is up to date and a comprehensive Severe Weather Risk Assessment is completed when appropriate.
• The SHE Noticeboard is up to date and compliant with Standard 4.3.
• Monthly Site Inspections take place and actions completed accordingly.
People
• The Driver Pack process is in place to identify hazards and risks offsite or Visiting/Third Party premises.
• All employees identified as a Person Specifically at Risk have been assessed with appropriate controls implemented with the support of occupational health where required.
• Where ground level access to Docks is required safe and suitable access/egress provided and compliance is enforced.
• The site has a suitable, enforced process in place to prevent vehicle drive away during loading/unloading including key control e.g. drivers hanging keys on the loading bay door.
• The controls for equipment (e.g. Dock Levellers, Loading Bay doors etc.) are situated in a safe area.
• Site/Yard Rules including loading bay instructions have been produced, displayed and communicated to staff and in a format suitable to visiting drivers.
• The site has a suitable, enforced process in place for controlling vehicle movement into/on to loading bays/designated areas.

Unit
• There is documented evidence that footwear checks are regularly completed for staff.
• All vehicles, MHE, and equipment (e.g. Dock Levellers, Loading Bay Doors) are in good working order and maintained as part of a preventative maintenance programme and local inspection process.
• There is documented evidence that all employees have been issued with the appropriate PPE as identified in the RMG PPE Matrix e.g. Hi Viz clothing and a safety footwear if required.

Yes / No
11) Regular and targeted Manager SMAT / Observations (Yard and Vehicle) take place to correct unsafe acts / conditions.
1) The new Loading & Unloading (Royal Mail Operations) SSOW has been communicated to all staff with documented evidence and the content explained.
9) All staff understand the requirement to act safely and are empowered to make decisions based on risk (using the 'Look-Consider-Decide' method).
10) Arrangements to prevent falling from height, vehicle drive-away and reversing on to the Loading Bay have been re-assessed in conjunction with the site Safety Representative to make sure the risk is adequately controlled with improvement actions implemented where required.
2) The Loading & Unloading SSOW has been discussed at the Unit SHE Committee Meeting (or directly with a Union Representative).
3) The Loading & Unloading WTLL/Brief has been communicated to all relevant staff.
6) The Transportation of Yorks and RSCs SSOW has been communicated to all staff in the last 12 months with documented evidence and the content explained.
7) The Site/Yard Rules and any relevant loading bay instructions have been reviewed to ensure the communication of safe loading/unloading activity is sufficient, updated where necessary, and the current version communicated to all staff within the last 12 months with documented evidence.
8) Third Party/Visiting sites considered a significant risk for loading and unloading have been identified and suitable arrangements been put in place, including updating the vehicle Driver Pack, to reduce the risk to an acceptable level.
5) The Driving SSOW has been communicated to all staff in the last 12 months with documented evidence and the content explained.
4) The York SSOW and Manual Handling SSOW have been communicated to all staff in the last 12 months with documented evidence and the content explained.

Task should be prohibited until the risk has been reduced. Resources may have to be allocated to redesign the task in order to reduce the risk. Where the task is already in progress, it should be stopped
when it is safe to do so. These two bands usually fall outside the normal day to day risk assessment and ought to be reserved for concurrence processes
Task should be prohibited. If it is not possible to reduce the risk, even with unlimited resources, the work has to remain prohibited. Alternative solutions should be found that avoid the need to complete the
origional task.
Some additional controls would be beneficial to further reduce the risk. Consideration may be given to a more cost-effective solution or improvement that imposes no additional cost burden. Monitoring is
required to ensure that the controls are maintained.
Moderate
Efforts should be made to reduce the risk, although the costs of prevention should be carefully measured within a cost/benefit analysis to ensure the control is appropriate. Risk reduction measures
should be implemented within a defined time period. Where the risk level is associated with Serious and Significant Injuries consequences, further task assessment and/or task redesign may be necessary to
achieve suitable control measures.
