- Follow established slab-handling procedures when lifting, separating, securing, and positioning bundled materials to prevent injury or product damage.
- Inspect incoming and outgoing materials for damage, verify quantities and receiving information, and report discrepancies.
- Load and unload flatbed, box, and other delivery trucks while safely handling heavy, oversized, and fragile materials.
