Last year, a workplace accident was reported in northern Sweden in which one person died because the wall panels that were to be unloaded had been secured only for transport, but were not secured during unloading. A tragic accident that could easily have been avoided by securing the wall panels individually.
The images below provide a good and clear example of how to secure wall blocks individually.

This website is designed to quickly and consistently communicate safety-related incidents that occur during concrete transport in our daily lives.
Our goal is to use transparency to share what we’ve learned with the rest of the industry so that, together, we can reduce the risk of incidents and accidents.
The site is operated by Mantum, which has been transporting precast concrete elements since 1959, though under the name Veddige Åkeri AB
