Is it permissible to slew loads over the cabin of the truck being loaded?

Slewing loads over the cabin of the truck being loaded is not permissible because it poses a significant risk to the driver. This practice can result in accidental load shifts or drops, which could cause severe injury or even fatality to the operator. Safety regulations prioritize the well-being of workers, and regardless of the load’s weight or the truck’s status, the risk remains unacceptably high when slewing over occupied spaces. Thus, maintaining a safe distance away from the driver’s area is essential for preventing accidents that can arise from unexpected movements during loading or unloading operations. Safety protocols require that operators avoid any operation that could endanger lives, reinforcing the prohibition against slewing loads overhead in this manner.
