Stopping drivers falling from trailers is just one of the topics covered in the forthcoming "Driving Accidents Down" conference organised jointly by Commercial Motor and Contract Journal and held on 15 September at Villa Park, Birmingham.
The all-day conference is packed with practical case studies from companies in transport and construction, which have pro-actively tackled the major causes of workplace accidents including slips, trips and falls, falls from height, fork-lift truck accidents and reversing accidents.
There is also advice on how to cut accident claims and get drivers to participate more in health and safety issues.
If you're responsible for health and safety at your company contact Teresa Murphy on the Safety Conference Desk on 020 8652 3887 for more details and to book your place. Alternatively, e-mail teresa.murphy@rbi.co.uk
