Welcome to the CHASAC (Castings Health and Safety Advisory Committee) guidance sheet for the safe loading of castings onto vehicles for transportation by road.
This is a new guidance document and in line with HSE & SHIFT policy, has been written in a user friendly manner.
This sheet will be of interest to anyone who loads vehicles with castings for carrying on public roads, who manages such employees or those persons undertaking risk assessments in their workplace for safe handling and transportation of goods and/or other items on vehicles using public roads.
This sheet can be downloaded and printed off at no cost and can be issued either to employees directly, placed on notice boards in areas loading/unloading areas or can be incorporated into training and awareness sessions provided by employers. It can also be copied to intranet systems for use internally.
