Port safety under scrutiny

[ February 24, 2020   //   ]

ICHCA (International Cargo Handling Coordination Association) and HSE’s Science and Research Centre are hosting a collaborative workshop to develop a new industry-wide strategy to improve safety across the port sector.

This one day facilitated workshop, which will take place on 7 April at HSE’s Science and Research Centre in Buxton, will form part of a larger ICHCA health and safety convention that includes the biannual meeting of the organization’s Technical Panel on 8 April.

Chairman of ICHCA International, John Beckett said that while there had been a dramatic improvement in safety over the past 20 years, the reduction in incidents has stagnated and there have been over 200 fatalities since the start of 2018.

Limited quantities of free places are available:  https://ichca.com/ichca-international-spring-2020-meeting
