- Follow all site health and safety requirements at all times, including wearing appropriate PPE
- If there is time at the end of the day, then the driver’s mate will get involved with the processing and de-nailing of wood, as well as breaking up pallets
- Undertake training in-house or off site as agreed with the Manager, in addition to routine training for Health and Safety and First Aid or any other training agreed with the Manager
