Scenario 1

Scenario 2
Travelling with a full skip across a soft, rutted haul road
Scenario 3
Loading-bay coordination with a 360 excavator — eye contact, not assumption

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
