Driving Rigid Goods Vehicles If a candidate is dissatisfied with an assessment outcome, they have the right to appeal. There are 3 stages in the appeals procedure and each stage must be exhausted before proceeding to the next one. Candidates are advised to keep their own copies of all the documents used in the appeals procedure. The main reasons for an appeal are likely to be : »

Complaints and Appeals Procedures

The candidate does not understand why they are not yet regarded as competent, due to unsatisfactory feedback from the assessor.

The candidate believes they are competent and that the assessor has misjudged them, or has failed to utilise some vital evidence.

Stage 1 If a candidate has received a decision as to their competence with which they are unsatisfied, they have the right to appeal directly to the assessor who carried out the assessment. This appeal must be in writing and clearly indicate: »

Points of disagreement

The evidence in the portfolio that the candidate believes meets the requirements of the standards for claiming competence

Stage 2 Candidates who are not satisfied with the outcome of their stage 1 appeal can next appeal to the Centre's Internal Verifier. This appeal must be in writing, but need not repeat the detail provided at Stage 1 as all the documentation used at stage 1 will be passed onto the Internal Verifier. The verifier will forward a decision to the candidate & assessor within two weeks.

Stage 3 Candidates who are not satisfied with the outcomes of stage 2 of the appeals procedure and who have exhausted all the Centre's internal appeals procedures, may proceed to Stage 3. This appeal must be in writing to the EDI General Manager Operations, and must be accompanied by copies of all documentation from Stages 1 & 2. There must also be evidence that the candidate has exhausted all the Centre's internal appeals procedures.

An investigation will be undertaken on behalf of EDI and a report will be compiled for consideration by the EDI Appeals Panel. This consideration will lead to one of 2 decisions EITHER the Appeals Panel will support the recommendation of the report for the appeal to be upheld or rejected. OR the Appeals Panel will appoint an independent assessor and require the candidate to re-submit their portfolio and be available for an interview on an agreed date. The independent Assessor will then report to the Appeals Panel. The appeal will either be rejected or upheld. THE DECISION OF THE APPEALS PANEL WILL BE FINAL.

A fee will be charged to the candidate at Stage 3. This fee will be refunded if the appeal is upheld.

Safe Working Practices

Banksman (Reversing Assistant)

Driving Rigid Goods Vehicles

BANKSMEN (REVERSING ASSISTANTS)

Banksmen (reversing assistants) are defined as trained employees who play an active part in reversing manoeuvres by giving prearranged hand signals to the driver. (www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/waste04.pdf)

Their role is to:

Banksmen (Reversing ABCDEFG Assistants)

•

• •

signal the vehicle driver to stop when necessary to prevent the vehicle colliding with pedestrians and other road users; warn approaching vehicles or pedestrians; assist trained and competent drivers to safely manoeuvre the vehicle. They do not take responsibility for the manoeuvre.

Additional training is essential for reversing assistants wherever they are expected to indicate clearance distances between the vehicle and obstructions on the street.

Only trained reversing assistants should assist reversing vehicles.

The banksman (reversing assistant) should stand 5 -10 m back and 1 m out from the side of the vehicle, on the pavement wherever possible, so that the driver can see them.

Banksmen (reversing assistants) should never stand directly behind the vehicle.

If the driver loses sight of the reversing assistant they MUST stop the vehicle at once. The driver should not reverse until the banksman (reversing assistant) is in position and have signalled that it is ok to start reversing.

Loading should never take place while the vehicle is reversing.

Banksmen (reversing assistants) should never walk backwards while giving signals (this poses a slip/trip risk) and should be sure the driver can see them at all times.

Before making the manoeuvre the driver and banksman (reversing assistant) should agree who will stand where. The final decision to reverse or not is the driver’s reponsibility. (www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/waste04.pdf)

Driving Rigid Goods Vehicles

CRUSH ZONE

Banksmen (reversing assistants) must: • avoid distractions when assisting a driver to complete a manoeuvre.

• be alert and aware of pedestrians and warn them that the vehicle is reversing.

CLEAR VIEW

Poor all around visability can cause accidents or collisions with other vehicles.

Banksmen (reversing assistants) must be able to see the driver in the mirror and ensure the driver can also see them.

Drivers must keep the Banksman (reversing assistant) in full view when manoeuvring the vehicle.

CLEAR AGREED SIGNALS

It is vital that the banksman (reversing assistant) and driver use correct and clear agreed signals.

Consistency and the use of correct hand signals throughout is essential for maintaining safety.

Drivers should not start reversing until they are given a clear signal to do so by the banksman (reversing assistant).

Banksmen (Reversing ABCDEFG Assistants)

The crush zone is highlighted in red on the picture. Picture: www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/waste04.pdf

• ensure that both they and other people are not in the crush zone during reversing, ie between the rear/sides of the vehicle and fixed objects such as walls, lamp posts or cars.

Activity 2.1

Driving Rigid Goods Vehicles

Banksman (Reversing ABCDEFG Assistant) Signals

With reference to your practical training, identify the banksman (reversing assistant) signals pictured below.

Driving Rigid Goods Vehicles

Restricted S p ace

Banksman (Reversing Assistant) Signals

When guiding a reversing vehicle in a restricted space the banksman (reversing assistant) should stand on a pavement or walkway. If this is not possible the banksman (reversing assistant) must have sight of the crush zone at all times. The manoeuvre must not start until the banksman (reversing assistant) is in place and visible.

In A Strai g ht Line

When the vehicle has to make a straight reverse, the banksman (reversing assistant) should be positioned to make sure no-one enters the crush zone. The banksman (reversing assistant) may need to progressively move as the vehicle reverses, but should remember to do so with extreme care, and not to walk backwards while signalling.

Around Corners

This reversing procedure may vary depending on whether the side road is on the left or right. In the right-hand option, the banksman (reversing assistant) may need to take up a position on the nearside corner. Once the manoeuvre has begun, they can move to a safe distance in preparation for reversing in a straight line as above.

Manual Handling

Manual Handling is any transporting or supporting of a load (including lifting, putting down, pushing, pulling, carrying or moving) by hand. Manual handling can be a hazard and accidents or injuries can result if this is not carried out appropriately and safely, not just to yourself but to others. More than a third of all reported injuries in the workplace are caused by manual handling activities. The most common injuries caused, as a result, are sprains and strains, though broken bones and internal injuries can also result.

Manual Handling

Manual Handling Regulations Manual Handling Operations Regulations DO NOT give weight limits for lifting. There is no limit below which lifting is considered safe. This is because what is safe depends on the person involved in the lifting and the situation. Manual Handling Good Practice:

Think before you lift. Avoid risky handling activities. Use mechanical aids wherever possible. Obtain assistance if the load is heavy or difficult. Inform your employer if you have a medical condition that affects your capability. Manual Handling Bad Practice:

Bending the back when lifting. Holding loads away from the body. Attempting to lift heavy loads without assistance. Carrying loads for long distances without resting. Carrying uneven loads with the heaviest side away from you.

YOU ONLY HAVE ONE BACK! If you look after it, it will last a lifetime. Employers are duty bound by legislation to carry out risk assessments regarding the moving and lifting of heavy or bulky loads. Section 2 of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and regulations 10 and 13 of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 require employers to provide their employees with health and safety information and training. Employees who are expected to manually handle loads MUST receive the correct training and be provided with suitable and appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
