Onsite transport remains the second biggest cause of accidents in the workplace, causing around 70 fatalities and over 2000 serious injuries every year. Careful consideration of ways in which to segregate pedestrians from vehicles throughout the workplace is the key to reducing accidents. RoSPA’s Workplace Transport Consultancy helps organisations tackle this HSE Key Issue by providing an expert to assess the specifics of individual workplaces and formulate an action plan.
The service is suitable for all worksites where there are moving vehicles, be it in carparks, depots, warehouses or making deliveries etc. The RoSPA Consultant will visit the site to observe existing lay-out, design and working practices. The consultant will then be able to report back with an action plan of how working areas can be improved with better:
Lighting
Signage
Road surfaces
Staff training
Traffic management (e.g. one way systems, access and egress etc.)
All recommendations will be specific to the site, the tasks and the vehicles.
