H&S WG – Training session 1

Information

As announced at the ECG Conference in Berlin, the ECG Health & Safety Working Group (H&S WG) has been very busy developing strategies to reduce accidents in FVL, specifically in road transport. Toyota Motor Europe, who actively chairs this WG, are running a series of training sessions with the aim of showing in the field the recommended standards developed within the WG. The training sessions are taking place in different parts of Europe in order to facilitate the attendance of participants from different countries. The first day of the training session is focused on the “ECG Guidelines – Safe Loading Process” while the second day is about the Risk Assessment method for car transporters. Participants may choose which of the training session days to attend  based on the nature of their roles.
