Information and Legislation Issues

Nearly a quarter of all deaths involving vehicles at work occur during reversing. Many other reversing accidents do not result in injury but cause costly damage to vehicles, equipment and premises. Most of these accidents can be avoided by taking simple precautions.

In practical terms it may not be possible to remove the need for reversing altogether but by following the guidance below the risks may be reduced

• Site layouts can be designed (or modified) to increase visibility for drivers and pedestrians, for example:
• By increasing the area allowed for reversing.
• By installing fixed mirrors in smaller areas.
• Reducing the dangers caused by 'blind-spots':
• Most vehicles already have external side-mounted and rear-view mirrors fitted. These need to be kept clean and in good repair.
• Refractive lenses fitted to rear windows or closed-circuit television systems can be used to help drivers to see behind the vehicle.
• If drivers cannot see behind the vehicle, they should leave their cab and check behind the vehicle before reversing.
• Reversing alarms can be fitted:
• These should be kept in working order.
• Audible alarms should be loud and distinct enough that theydo not become part of the background noise.
• where an audible alarm might not stand out from the background noise, flashing warning lights can be used.
• Other safety devices can be fitted to vehicles:
• For example, a number of 'sensing' and 'trip' systems are available, which either warn the driver or stop the vehicle when an obstruction is detected close to, or comes in contact with, the reversing vehicle.
• Stops such as barriers, or buffers at loading bays can be used. They should be highly visible, and sensibly positioned.
• Where vehicles reverse up to structures or edges, barriers or wheel stops can be used to warn drivers that they need to stop.
• White lines on the floor can help the driver position the vehicle accurately.
