Confidential safety group launches
A confidential Safety Circle has been launched to allow companies working in logistics to talk openly about safety in their industry.
The group, which will initially consist of up to 30 companies – including manufacturers, retailers and logistics operators, as well as those designing and producing vehicles and equipment – will meet quarterly, with an additional online forum available only to members.
Ruth Waring FCILT, managing director of Labyrinth Logistics Consulting, the company which is launching the service, said: “As a closed group members will be able to share both “lessons learned” and best practice, helping themselves and others to reduce injuries and lost time in the sector. The meetings will take place under Chatham House Rules.”
Topics to be discussed include runaway vehicles and drive-aways, where a lorry drives off with an individual still in the back of the trailer being loaded.
