Lesson 1Reception and unloading: vehicle types, weighbridges, spill risks at tipping pointsHere we check out the areas where trucks come in and unload waste, looking at how vehicles move, weighing scales work, and dumping spots. We show how bad planning or loose rules can lead to spills, rubbish blowing away, and road accidents that hurt the environment.

Good watching and rules cut down fire, blast, and being buried alive risks.

Smart planning and work ways lower dust, germ clouds, sharp items, and mixing of bad stuff.

We explain how weak designs let dirt spread all over the site.

These things change spill risks, fire starts, and long-run earth care.

Wrong line-up, too hot running, bad oiling spark fires, spills, and surprise stops.

These stop leaks, bad mixes, and wrong handling.
