shows the gross mass and axle group loadings and must be attached to the delivery docket
copy along with the concessional loading form for all concessional operations. When loading
vehicles a loading procedure is followed (please refer to attached procedure). Loading
procedures allow for the weights to be 250kg short of the allowable mass on each axle groups
to ensure overloading does not occur. This forms a contingency measure in our Mass
Management System to account for any discrepancy in weigh bridge read outs.

A front end loader provided by ABC mine site will be used by Company X drivers to load the
product into the trailers. All drivers carrying out this task have current tickets and VOC’s.
Although the front end loader has no direct weighing mechanism, when loading the trailers the
driver will have full view of the LED read outs ensuring they are aware of the weights being
loaded over each axle.
