What this work can involve
- Clearing debris from a leveller pit and freeing the hinges so the platform returns level to its stored position.

- Replacing a failed hydraulic power pack on a leveller whose platform no longer rises from its stored position.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Islington?
The employer or occupier is. PUWER 1998 requires work equipment to be maintained and inspected, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 cover vehicle and pedestrian routes around the dock. In practice that means planned servicing of levellers and doors, daily pre-use checks and a clear procedure to stop trailers moving during loading.
How the work is organised
Service and repair visits in Islington are booked around your shifts. Doors and shutters are taken out of use one at a time, so the rest of the site keeps working while each one is checked.
