Collect your pre-populated paperwork bundle from the designated and safe despatch location area ensuring that you observe the 2-metre social distancing rule. Familiarise yourself with the products and then make your way to the correct loading point.
Your paperwork bundle will include:
Ensure your vehicle is prepared for loading; all curtains are tied back and cranes lifted. Place your ‘Load I.D. Card’ in view so that the forklift driver can read it. For brick sites, our forklift driver will know what to load from your vehicle registration number.
Our Forklift driver will know exactly what to load on you from the number on your ‘Load I.D. Card’ or your registration number. Remain in your vehicle at all times in the passenger seat with your engine isolated and your keys removed.
Once you have been loaded the forklift driver responsible for your load, will give you the ‘thumbs up’ signal that loading is complete. You may now move to the next loading location or prepare your vehicle for movement. There is no requirement to exchange paperwork or provide a signature as we have your details from your original booking request.
Do not attempt to get out or move your vehicle unless the forklift driver has given you the ‘thumbs up’ signal as he may still have products to load onto you. Safety is priority and you must remain in the passenger seat during loading.
You are permitted to operate within a 2-metre boundary of your vehicle should you require to complete any critical tasks on your vehicle. This includes raising or lowering cranes and undoing curtains etc. This is your safe zone
For your safety, you may be directed to specific load securing areas away from forklift activity. Whilst doing this ensure that all double stacked product is secured first prior to moving your vehicle. All areas of the stock yard and lorry parks require full PPE.
As soon as you have secured your load you should leave site immediately. Do not attempt to return to the Despatch office and do not take driving rest breaks on our premises.
If you are leaving a Tile site, call the despatch office to confirm you are leaving. Please ensure you follow all site signage, directional arrows and maintain the onsite speed limit at all times.
These procedures are in place to protect both you and Wienerberger employees therefore your understanding and cooperation are greatly appreciated.
Drivers choosing to ignore this safety procedure will not be loaded and requested to leave the site immediately.
