The Health & Safety Working Group (H&S WG) was created in October 2017 at one of the Industry Meetings held between the ECG board and OEM representatives. The H&S WG was officially kicked off and its membership defined in March 2018. Since then more than 40 active members from logistics service providers, car manufacturers and trailer manufacturers have worked together to tackle H&S issues in the industry.
The initial focus of the H&S WG has been to reduce accidents in road transport operations and, especially, to address ‘falls from height’ which tend to be responsible for the most serious incidents.
The H&S WG has different sub-groups (SGs) carrying out activities related to truck transportation in finished vehicle logistics. Today the work of most of the sub-groups is complete and you can find the results of their work via the links below where you may download various publications. The only active sub-group at this time is the one set up to address ‘Retailer Delivery’ which is seeking to improve safety standards at third party delivery locations.
