Recommendations
Recommendations (the sheriff's words)8.4 Instead I recommend that there should be a review by Mintlaw Transport Limited, in consultation with the Health and Safety Executive, as to the method by which any B192/09 PF Peterhead v Gordon Turriff problem which might arise with, say, the cover of such a partially filled trailer might safely be dealt with without resort to entering the trailer.
Following that review the employees of Mintlaw Transport Limited should be instructed accordingly.
I recommend that steps should be taken by the Health and Safety Executive to publicise this determination within the haulage industry so that other operators may be aware of the dangers highlighted by this inquiry and may take steps, if need be, to guard against them.
Under section 28 of the 2016 Act, each recipient of a recommendation must respond within 8 weeks. The 8-week window is counted from the publication date. See how we track responses.
