At Hyndford Quarry they carried out a VFL with several drivers that came into site, contract haulage drivers and collects.

They identified that when exiting the site the drivers had to exit their cabs and descend a set of stairs to get their tickets from the weighbridge, as well as checking their weights.

Kevin Hill, Quarry Manager, explains: “If they were overweight or underweight they would need to go back and tip off or be reloaded – this meant going up and down to and from their cabs and the weighbridge. We have since installed a scale display that shows the drivers their gross weight when in their cabs which, if it identifies they are overweight or short of material, they simply go back without exiting their cab, therefore, reducing the potential for slips, trips and falls.”
