THROWING CHAINS

SAFETY GLASSES WHEN THROWING CHAINS

Recently someone has had a chain flick back off a load and hit them in the eye. They have ended up with a black eye. They were throwing chains in the dark and just did not see the chain coming at them.

When throwing chains in the dark, please wear your safety glasses so you can protect your eyes from any stray chains coming your way.

Loading on slopes

LOADING, AND PARK BRAKES

We expect the crews to provide a reasonable spot for you to be loaded. If you are asked to load in an area that looks dicey, please let us know so we can follow it up.

WE DON’T WANT YOU LOADING ON SLOPES.

Be aware, if you are asked to load on a slope, that the moment you release the trailer brakes, there will only be 2 braked truck axles holding your whole unit.

Dependent on the slope, the ground conditions, and the weight of any logs you may have already loaded,

THAT MAY NOT BE ENOUGH.
