New second edition of Workplace transport safety: An employers’ guide
This new edition aims to help employers, managers and supervisors make accidents involving workplace transport less likely. It will also be useful for safety representatives, self-employed people, contractors, vehicle operators, other employees, trade associations, commercial landlords and other organisations concerned with workplace transport safety.
The information is suitable for medium and large industrial and commercial sites, but should also be useful for smaller businesses and for places such as construction sites, quarries, farms and forestry operations.
It provides some background to workplace transport safety and gives advice to people responsible for a workplace on how they can make sure that workplace transport is safe. It advises on common vehicle operations, some risks associated with them, and how to deal with safety for each type of operation.
