APPENDIX B: Example of managing risks in stevedoring
Example: A general cargo vessel arrives for discharge, the vessel has pre-slung steel pipe in the hatch. The pipe is stacked approximately 6 m high in the hatch.

TASK                What hazards are encountered when doing the task?  What risks do these pose to the health and safety?                                                     How are these hazards and risks controlled?
