| Abstract |
The HSE has identified the frequency of accidents to delivery drivers on delivery or collection sites as a source of serious concern. There is a wide variation in safety procedures on sites and it is considered that it would be useful to obtain the views of drivers into what constitutes a safe site. A focused investigation was undertaken using structured interviews of 22 drivers selected from enterprises in the logistics sector, using questionnaires targeting eight key areas, complemented by discussion to elicit wider opinions. A number of recommendations is made on the basis of the findings. |
