GUIDELINES

Safety above all

Never hoist a tub if a corner is damaged or has been repaired
Never stand underneath or too close to a stack that is being hoisted or moved
Use Safe2land whenever possible
Remove any worn or damaged tubs from circulation

Always drive carefully with stacks of tubs on a forklift and use the forks in the long sides of the tubs for greater stability when driving longer distances or over a rough surface
Make sure that the incline of floor does not affect the stability of any high stacks
In the event of a fire the tubs are flammable, avoid stacking up against buildings
