Tipping bags into ALP sleeves

Post by rogersh »

I have found the following information, re the subject, on this forum.

OPERATIONS & MODERNISATION RISK MANAGEMENT
SAFE SYSTEM OF WORK
Use of Auto Level Packet Sleeve for York’s and Mini York’s

"Bags should not be tipped into York ALP Sleeves. Where bag tipping is carried out with mini York ALP Sleeves, the Safe System of Work for bag tipping to ALTs should be followed."

I assume the reason for not tipping bags into ALP sleeves is because this action could possibly cause injury.
Does anyone have knowledge or reason this practice is not allowed or any exception to the rule ?.
