• Safety regulations are being stepped up at Southampton Container Terminal from the end of this month, when drivers not wearing high visibility jackets will be barred from the dockside.
A combined Transport & General Workers Union, Road Haulage Association and SCT initiative has been launched to forewarn operators who have been reluctant to wear them.
SCT says it is simply enforcing existing requirements. RILA. says the 1988 Docks Regulations and more recent Health & Safety legislation regarding risk assessment are the driving forces. Arrangements to sell suitable garments to ill-equipped drivers for a nominal charge have been made.
