Safety guidance for road haulage

摘要

If you employ staff to work in general haulage and warehousing, wholesale and retail distribution, or specialised haulage such as car transport, bulk materials and bulk liquids, or even if you simply operate a commercial vehicle, you should be aware of new guidance recently published by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). The guidance, published in December 2003, is entitled "Health and Safety in Road Haulage". It is the result of a collaboration between the HSE, local authorities, professional bodies, employer representatives and trade unions. It provides practical health and safety tips for employers in the road haulage industry and operators of commercial vehicles.
