Camera system to improve forward visibility of loading shovel

Where I work the bucket on my jcb 437 has had a prohibition notice placed on it by hse. Its a ulrich 6.5cu m toe tip which is used for loading woodchip on to artics, its just over 9ft wide 6ft 6 height. They have deemed it unsafe to use because it restricts forward visibility to much. I'm wanting to know if anyone knows of a camera system, ideally in a kit that would make hse happy for me to use my bucket again or any other solution because it's really annoying to load with a 3cu m bucket. It takes 12 buckets at 6.5cu but 22 with the 3cu. I did 9 artics in a row the other day and I was knackered after that plus the other 14 that day. Any solution
would be much appreciated

Did you not ask HSE what would be acceptable?

If they said camera system, I would have thought that they could point you in the right direction.

Alternatively, I would ring Taylor & Braithwaite as I saw something called “BucketEye Camera” mentioned here:
