FTA seminars
September 1st 2009 Over 15 per cent of all transport
related accidents in the workplace
can be accounted for by loading and
unloading, in some sectors this
figure is nearer to 30 per cent
making it the single highest risk for
many businesses. This is particularly
the case for small businesses where
they generally deal with low risk
activity and often they do not see
loading and unloading as their
responsibility.
Whatever the reasons, there are
some practical steps to improve safety
through training, technical solutions
and operational procedures, that
needn't be cost prohibitive. The
Freight Transport Association will
be running its series of Transport
Manager seminars from September
until December where, among other
topics, a Health and Safety
enforcement officer will describe the
HSE's new awareness and
enforcement campaign targeted at
reducing accidents in loading bays.
