Summary
Metal components concealed beneath paper and cardboard fell from a flexible intermediate bulk container during garbage lifting. High winds drove the bag against the crane boom, tearing its bottom after a shock load. The flash recommends pre-use inspection, waste segregation, manufacturer-led lifting and suitable baskets for loose items.
