In that one with the load slipping off flat bed it says driver put on furlough for 2 days. Is this not an admittance to miss use of the scheme or did corona cause the load to fall off

what a complete **** up of a loading job ... bottom item should've been sat on large (sleepers?) cribbing ... not the bloody legs point loading the bed ... appalling .. and then the uppers were steel on steel and as for using bloody straps
...... hope they got prosecuted for that one

Haven’t read them all, but the roller one...
No longer allowed to go within 500mm of edge...so how is that gonna be compacted?
Minimum of 1200 wide rollers only..... but they’ll still roll if you drive off the edge

I don't believe it, so they're saying the further out you stretch the arm with a big bucket on the more chance there is of the digger picking its bum up. If only I'd known this sooner. Well at least i won't need the seatbelt to stop me going out through the window tomorrowcan you believe they're blaming the machine in this

Some of them are good such as being able to see where you are going in large dumpers, but do you really need health and safety warning to remind people not to drive off the edge?
As to the grading bucket one, unless there is more to it than they are saying it is not the grading bucket itself, it is picking up too much. A large digging bucket will equally pull the machine over, but that is okay. I think they are confusing correlation with causation. It is like saying that every time a digger has fallen over on site the operator was wearing hi viz, so if we ban hi viz diggers won’t fall over.
Driving a van up behind an ADT that you know is about to back up doesn’t seem to sensible either.

These incidents all have one thing in common..... idiots!
If the zero tail digger is so unstable with a whopping 1200 bucket on it - maybe fit a smaller bucket? That sounds like a sensible solution to me if you have to show you've actioned something on the back of this incident. I'd like to see it load something thats lower than the kingpost. Think even a wheelbarrow would be too high!
ADT's are bigger than vans. Van should have got the hell out the way, not the drivers fault if someone's pulled up behind him in an area he shouldn't be. No way would you see the van in the mirror of the ADT. Its why pickups in mine sites have flags on. And they give way to bigger kit!
And cabbed dumpers are safer, nicer to drive and the dual view concept is a good one. Doesnt help if its still driven by an idiot though....

The thing all these incidents have in common is they all highlight what a shower of s**t the whole ticket system is. The fact that basic stuff is having to be explained to those who are supposed be competent just shows what a joke the whole setup is.

Completely agree. What is the point of tickets if you don’t learn any safety. I guess if your firm puts enough people through a ticket supplier they are very unlikely to fail any one as they want to retain the business. Any ticket centre that got a reputation for failing people would quickly go out of business.

Can't get on a machine on site to LEARN without a ticket and can't be told anything once they have a ticket.
