Dangerous incident report – Rollover

Dangerous incident | SinNot 2018/01088

Summary: A service truck rolled while leaving a mine site.  At a right-hand bend on a gravel road, the driver swerved, lost control and the truck tipped on its side.  A fuel tank was fitted to the truck and was only partially filled.

Recommendations to industry: When tanks are fitted to vehicles (such as fuel or water tanks), the risk of fluid movement should be considered and appropriate controls put in place including baffles and minimum/ maximum fill levels.
