Global port safety needs improvement: study

摘要

London - Global network terminal ports have made "significant" strides in worker health and safety but have room for improvement, according to a study commissioned by the International Transport Workers' Federation. Researchers from Cardiff University interviewed health and safety managers, safety advisers, and workers at six ports throughout Europe and Asia. They found global ports' health and safety programs emphasize top-down, rule-based behavioral safety, but some sites are limited by unreliable injury, illness and fatality reporting.
