Typical forward tipping dumper scenarios on Hill of Banchory sites

  1. Scenario 1

    Tipping at a stop-block on an active edge — driver-positioning rule

  2. Scenario 2

    Travelling with a full skip across a soft, rutted haul road

  3. Scenario 3

    Loading-bay coordination with a 360 excavator — eye contact, not assumption

Audit findings this prevents

  • Seatbelt not worn — HSE's single biggest dumper-fatality factor
  • No stop-blocks at tipping edges; vehicle goes over because the heap shifted
  • Reversing with no rear-view aids in a yard with pedestrians
