The Handling & Storage Solutions Safer Logistics Campaign
Handling & Storage Solutions continues the Safer Logistics campaign to
promote health and safety awareness in logistics in 2015.
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’.
It is vital to push home the message that poor health & safety practices have no place in the modern logistics world.
What you can do
Clear safety first 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.
