Logistics and Transport Health and Safety

Managing staff that are out on the road, rarely in the office and often keep unsocial hours can be a headache. Ensuring that Transport Health and Safety procedures are followed when you’re not in position to see what’s happening can be very stressful to say the least.

It’s your duty as an employer to provide an ongoing programme of staff training regarding Health and Safety in transportation and logistics, with adequate supervision and workplace monitoring. Robust Health and Safety Management documents are required with adequate communication to staff, including the arrangements for:

Vehicles/pedestrian segregation
Moving and lifting operations including use of forklift trucks
Lone working
Driver hours monitoring
COSHH
Workplace transport systems
Working at (and falls from) height
Manual Handling
Road vehicle accidents
Identifying slips, trips and falls hazards
Producing dynamic risk assessments

All of this places a heavy burden on transport managers and business owners. A partnership with Bibby Consultancy and Support can help to lighten this load, leaving more time for core activities.
