Market Expertise: Distribution

Over the last five years haulage and distribution had the highest rate of accidents to employees.  According to accident reports sent to HSE and local authorities nearly 60 employees were killed, 5000 seriously injured and another 23 000 suffered injuries severe enough to keep them off work more than three days. These figures exclude other forms of work-related ill health, for example from bad backs or stress.

Data Sound pays particular attention to people being hit by:

• A moving vehicle.
• Falling loads.

 

Other danger areas include:

• Falls from vehicles.
• Overturning vehicles.
• Operating vehicles.
• Maintenance and repair work.
• Manual handling.
• Slips and trips.
• Falls from less than 2 metres.

 

It is important to put measures in place which minimise or control risks thereby reducing the likelihood of workplace injuries.
