GUIDING THE WAY

摘要

A new guide to health and safety in a cold store is designed to make it easier for businesses to meet compliance requirements and keep people safe. Chief executive of the Cold Chain Federation, Shane Brennan, explains why the guide has been published and how it can benefit businesses. Keeping colleagues safe is a first and fundamental moral responsibility. It's also good for business. But as everyone who works in logistics knows getting health and safety right can be complex and time consuming. This is especially the case in a cold storage business. Running a safe cold store not only means putting in place all the best practice and thorough risk assessments required in a general warehouse but also a range of cold-specific policies like ensuring personal safety in a cold environment and managing risks associated with icy surfaces.
