Passport to safety in logistics
UK Warehousing Association (UKWA), in conjunction with Safety Pass Alliance (SPA), is looking to create a one-day health & safety passport training scheme specifically for the warehousing and logistics industry.
On successful completion of the one day health & safety passport training scheme, each contractor or agency worker will gain a SPA Passport, which needs to be produced on request by an appropriate member of staff for the employing organisation. There is scope within the scheme to open this up to employees too. The commitment from the logistics industry is in the ‘policing’ of the passports at site level to ensure the momentum and importance of the programme is maintained.
The course will be designed with input from the industry to ensure the content is the most relevant and up to date. The content will cover topics such as accidents, organising for safety, key health & safety requirements, risk assessment and potential hazards within this sector. The safety passports are valid for three years and a refresher course will meet the requirements of renewing the passport as well as highlighting new and best practices within the renewal course content.
