Words not required!
Damo has been texting me, so words are required…
These are outriggers on the side of a lorry. I walked out of the office to find the truck like this, the driver said he hadn’t noticed but thought the ground was fine.
Before you ask, the pads were neatly stored behind the cab where the driver keeps them safe, warm and clean!
And as i’ve just replied to Damo, no calcs were required to work out the ground wouldn’t hold, a simple heel test would have told anyone that (not to mention the car park rutting about 6ft away which I should have taken a pic of, doh)!

Clearly ‘The Good’ is actually just ‘The Ugly’ waiting to happen!!!
Nicht gut!
Olly, Thanks for addition, I was amazed at the size of the outrigger feet and assumed it had to be something else.
Why did the driver presume the outrigger pads were not needed? Is there some sort of arrivals procedure to ensure offloading is done safely? Have you got a feedback option to inform the driver’s company of the issue?
Clearly no accident occurred but has this counted as a near miss?
The driver was a moron, assuming he presumed anything would be giving him too much credit!
All deliveries are controlled on site, they’re received, briefed, directed and managed (as I assume you also have) however, this driver disregarded the ‘wait for a slinger’ comment and unloaded a portable office container.
We have a permanent in-house H&S manager that works across the programme who was notified and took over. I’m not sure if it was classed as a near miss, I will ask however, I’d be surprised if not.
