What are the five cargo handling safety tips?

5 cargo handling safety practices apply across pallet and freight deliveries: position goods at the correct height and access point for the vehicle before the carrier arrives; clear the loading and unloading area of obstructions before the vehicle docks; confirm forklift or pallet truck availability at the delivery address before booking standard pallet delivery; provide a working receiver contact number on the booking so the carrier notifies before arrival; verify that load securing is completed and the vehicle doors are closed before it leaves the collection address.
