The Futures Supplies logistics team has recently undertaken the RoSPA Banksman Skills Course to ensure the highest standards of safety across our warehouse and delivery operations.
Workplace transport safety remains a critical focus across the logistics and distribution sectors. According to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), over 5,000 injuries occur each year due to workplace transport accidents, with nearly a quarter of all vehicle-related workplace fatalities occurring during reversing manoeuvres.
As a responsible, forward-thinking business, ensuring our team is equipped with the best possible training is essential. The RoSPA Fleet Safety course provides practical techniques for risk assessing and controlling reversing areas. By completing this training, our team has further developed the vital skills and knowledge required to safely guide heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) and large transport.
Key learning outcomes from the course included:
🔍 Hazard & Risk Identification: Spotting potential dangers within any active manoeuvring area.
🚧 Area Control: Safely managing and securing the space where vehicles are moving.
🚛 Vehicle Guidance: Safely aiding the physical movement and reversing of large delivery vehicles.
✅ Risk Reduction: Implementing effective measures to completely eliminate or reduce transport risks.
Delivered by RoSPA, a leading safety charity with over a century of experience in shaping safety policy and standards, this training ensures we continue to meet our strict legal obligations while fostering a culture of safety.
This investment not only protects our staff and visitors but also ensures our supply chain and delivery operations remain safe, smooth, and efficient for our customers.
