Typical forward tipping dumper scenarios on Tullos sites
- Scenario 1
Tipping at a stop-block on an active edge — driver-positioning rule
- 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
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
FAQs
