COMPACTOR
SKIP SERVICE
Equipment Advice Sheet
Please pass this information to your Health
and Safety Manager.
• Please ensure that whilst HWP drivers
are manoeuvring on your site, the area is
kept clear of pedestrians and obstacles. Personnel
must stand well clear of any moving goods
vehicles. They must not assist in any other
duties.
• HWP drivers are not permitted to lower
skips onto public roads, therefore adequate
space should be provided to make the skip
exchange on-site.
• Please DO NOT allow your staff to
climb on top of any skips provided.
• Customers are advised to carry out
their own risk assessments regarding any risks
associated with the use of compactors. Staff
could be at risk during the skip exchange
because the driver may not be able to see
anyone behind the skip from the cab.
• HWP drivers will lock-off the compactor
during the change over; this may be disruptive
to your processes but will be for the shortest
possible time and will ensure the compactor
cannot be accidentally started during change
over.
• Please DO NOT block access to skips
with goods or pallets when a collection has
been booked.
• Customers must inform HWP immediately
if any equipment provided is found to be damaged
or unfit for use. Suitable replacements will
be provided.
• Please ensure that skips are only
used for the intended purpose i.e. cardboard
recycling. Please inform staff that non-recyclables
such as pallets, plastics, glass etc. must
be segregated. General waste skips can be
supplied on request.
• Customers will be responsible for
the tipping and re-painting costs of burnt
paper inside skips. Charges can be provided
on request.
• HWP drivers have been instructed to
obey customers’ site safety rules at
all times. Please inform the driver of any
special instructions or call the office on
0161 330 4971.
