• Hankers face an increasing risk of jail if an employee is involved in an accident and they are found to have inadequate health and safety practices.
That's the message from transport lawyer Stephen Kirkbright. Speaking at the Road Haulage Association's Spring Convention, Kirkbright told hauliers that since 1993 there have been 162 cases reported to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) for manslaughter and this
number is rising. It is therefore vital that operators adopt more than just a 'Tenn filling" approach to health and safety to eliminate accidents at wort, he said.
"Companies need to adopt a zero tolerance approach to ensure that no-one walks by an unsafe practice. If there is an incident the company needs to investigate it promptly, taking signed witness statements and photagrapfis," he saki.
