Pallet death - investigation launched

18 November 2013

Police have launched a joint investigation with the HSE into the death of a 22 year-old Slovakian man.

The man died following an industrial incident at the Interfish factory at Wallsend Industrial Estate, Plymouth in October.


He was working in the freezer area when he is believed to have been struck by a falling pallet.

 

Safer Logistics Campaign

Handling & Storage Solutions has launched the Safer Logistics Campaign to promote health and safety awareness in logistics in 2014.

We were inspired to launch the campaign by the Health and Safety Executive encouraging all stakeholders to show leadership and ‘be part of the solution’.

 

 


What you can do

We think a couple of simple principles are worth repeating.

- If you doubt the safety of a working practice, stop. Talk to your supervisor or manager and agree a safe way of proceeding. Don’t carry on and hope for the best.

- No matter who you are in the management structure or workforce, take responsibility for your safety, don’t assume someone else has taken care of it.
