Vehicles - loading & unloading

Loading and unloading of vehicles potentially introduces extra hazards/risk. Issues to consider include:
* People falling off of vehicle
* Vehicles being over loaded
* Vehicles overturning if loaded on soft or unstable ground
* Keeping people away from the area whilst being loaded/unloaded
* Loss of containment of material being loaded/unloaded (especially toxic or flammable liquids and gases)
