Workplace Transport
The Councils in Northern Ireland are partnered with HSENI to deliver a Workplace Transport inspection and enforcement initiative.
Vehicles are particularly dangerous in the workplace. From 2004 to 2012 in Northern Ireland forty people were killed as a result of workplace transport accidents. A range of sectors are at risk and for a number of reasons. Contributory factors include:
-
No or inadequate risk assessments
-
Poor workplace design and layout (particularly vehicle pedestrian segregation)
-
Poor systems for detecting and correcting poor behaviour
-
Poor driver training
-
Inadequate vehicle/maintenance
