Sets out requirements for loading/unloading ramps and forcing pens to enable persons to safely load and unload livestock from vehicles used to transport them, and ensure the welfare of livestock and the safety of livestock handlers.

The objective of this Standard is to ensure the safety of personnel and livestock through separation of livestock and livestock handlers, and by the design, construction, maintenance, and use of forcing pens, and ramps.

This Standard reproduces content from Guide for Safe Design of Livestock Loading Ramps and Forcing Yards, June 2015, with permission of the Australian Livestock and Rural Transporters Association.

This Standard is not intended to discourage innovation. The use of alternative materials, designs, methods of assembly and procedures that either do not conform to the specific requirements of the Standard or are not mentioned in it, are not precluded, provided equivalent performance is demonstrated.
