• Check that the area surrounding the vehicle is free from personnel,
equipment and livestock, except for an assistant specifically tasked to guide
you to the area where the load is to be tipped. Health and Safety guidelines
on verbal or visual communication must be observed.
• Ensure the area surrounding the vehicle is suitably illuminated. (Night operation)
• Check overhead clearance for overhead cables and power lines, abort tip
or reposition vehicle if there are any overhead cables within the vicinity.
