BFFF DELIVER SUCCESSFUL WORKPLACE TRANSPORT SAFETY DAY!

The latest HSE Statistics (2023/24) are showing us the second cause of fatality in the workplace is struck by moving vehicle. With this in mind BFFF held its Workplace Transport Safety day this week which was hosted by associate members Mentor FLT Training.

In the morning we listened to sessions on Material Handling Equipment (MHE) risk and why this is underestimated, fork lift truck prosecutions, production versus safety, innovation and how to complete a workplace transport risk assessment.

In the afternoon, things were ‘hands on’ with polymer barrier technology (PAS13:2017) to protect our people from ASafe UK, pre-use checks, defect identification from Mentor and some delegates got to operate reach trucks and counterbalance fork trucks for themselves. This provided a first-hand experience from an operator’s perspective and undertaken in controlled conditions at the Mentor training centre in Chesterfield. We have received some excellent feedback from our delegates taking some new essential skills back to the workplace.

BFFF’s Head of H&S Simon Brentnall states:

‘ This is a great example of how a trade association can collaborate with its members to deliver best practice across the frozen and wider food and drink industry. Thanks to all our members that attended, to Mentor for hosting and the support received from ASafe UK’

This is just one of many initiative the federation delivers to its members, to find out about future events please watch this space!
