One mine came up with the idea of using an old flat bed trailer equipped with handrails around the bed to eliminate slips and falls while tarping loads. They would park this flatbed in an open area and put a set of stairs against it. Trucks and trailers to be tarped would be pulled directly along side and drivers would work from the trailer with handrails to cover their loads. (Sam Ricci, Jr., the owner of the company stated the idea was a joint effort on the part of his employees and the contract trucking companies. MSHA salutes everyone involved.)
