From April – July 2023, HSENI Inspectors will be conducting focused inspections in concrete premises across NI to assess the management of workplace transport related risks, ensuring effective controls are in place to manage these risks. It is an essential responsibility for employers to ensure their employees’ safety at work at all times🦺
HSENI Principal Inspector Brian Pryce said: “Unfortunately, workplace transport continues to be an area responsible for fatalities and major injuries in the workplace. Beginning in April our Inspectors will be visiting concrete premises throughout Northern Ireland to ensure effective controls are in place to manage the risks associated with workplace transport.
“Our Inspectors will provide information and advice during the campaign. Where significant risks are found Inspectors may take enforcement action in order to achieve compliance with health and safety legislation to ensure that risks are properly managed.”
This statement enhances the importance on the focus of workplace transport safety – with an ultimate end goal of minimising fatalities and injuries, both major and minor, in the workplace👷
