Check for stones, oversize grit, clay lumps, plastic or waste.
Check whether material is too wet by hand test.
Do not mix wet material with dry material.
Unload only in the marked m-sand dust zone. [PHOTO: Correct zone]
If material is wet/contaminated, keep separate and inform management.
Record supplier, quantity, date and status.
