What should be briefed to the driver prior to beginning loading operations?

Before beginning loading operations, it is essential to brief the driver on the clearances to be observed. This is crucial because clearances refer to the necessary space and height requirements that must be maintained while maneuvering vehicles and equipment during loading. Ensuring that the driver understands these clearances helps prevent accidents, damage to the vehicles, and obstacles during the loading process.

If the driver is not aware of the specific clearances needed for the operation, such as overhead height restrictions or lateral space requirements, it could lead to miscalculations that result in accidents or injuries. By focusing on clearances, the team ensures that directives about the safe handling of equipment in a confined environment are prioritized, thus promoting a safer loading environment.
