2.9          When transitioning from the ladder to the walkway on the CTU top, there are limited hand holds available for the operator to grip (see figure 8.6) making the manoeuvre hazardous. An operator climbing onto the top of the tank container shown in figure 8.7 will be presented with either the walkway securing bracket or the miss-stacking plate, neither of which are ideal handholds. Climbing off the top of the CTU can be more hazardous as the operator is attempting to locate rungs/steps which are not visible and in an awkward position.
