Build the internal capability for transport and logistics safety rather than depending on external support indefinitely.
Occupational Safety in the Transport and Logistics Sector
Practical training in transport and logistics safety, grounded in real cases and applied to your own operation.
Course Overview
Safety performance on transport and logistics safety degrades quietly during periods when nothing goes wrong. Regulators judge logistics safety on evidence of application, not on the existence of a document. The most reliable predictor of sound this part of occupational health and safety is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. They leave able to brief senior management on transport and logistics safety in terms that support a decision. The programme is built to be used, and every section of the occupational health and safety capability it covers ends in something applicable. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of logistics safety is examined, not just described. Participants who influence transport and logistics safety without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. Progress on logistics safety is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. The final module sets out how progress on the practice within occupational health and safety will be evidenced six months later.
Expected Learning Outcomes
Identify the failure points in logistics safety most likely to cause loss, and control them first.
Integrate transport and logistics safety into the management of change process.
Assess occupational health exposure arising from logistics safety and arrange surveillance.
Integrate transport and logistics safety into existing management routines rather than running it separately.
Design the permit and control regime appropriate to the hazards in logistics safety.
Carry out a structured risk assessment of transport and logistics safety and rank findings by consequence.

Course Modules
Transport and logistics safety: competence, authorisation and supervision
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Who answers for transport and logistics safety, and to whom
- Test the procedure for transport and logistics safety against a realistic scenario.
- Agree what will be standardised in logistics safety and what will not.
- Review whether transport and logistics safety is aligned with the objectives of the work site.
- Write down the assumptions underpinning the approach to logistics safety.
Session 2The decisions in logistics safety that cannot be delegated
- Reduce the variation in how transport and logistics safety is carried out between teams.
- Prepare the evidence pack a regulator would ask for on logistics safety.
- Check that records of transport and logistics safety answer the questions likely to be asked.
- Define the trigger that would require logistics safety to be redesigned.
Logistics safety: culture, human factors and why controls fail
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Testing logistics safety before relying on it
- Close out actions on transport and logistics safety rather than leaving them open indefinitely.
- Confirm the training cycle sustaining competence in logistics safety is current.
- Verify permits covering transport and logistics safety are issued by someone competent to assess the hazard.
- Set out how exceptions to logistics safety are requested and approved.
Session 2Auditing logistics safety in the field rather than in the file
- Verify contractor competence and method statements for transport and logistics safety.
- Check that lessons from logistics safety reached other sites doing similar work.
- Assess long-term health exposure created by transport and logistics safety and arrange surveillance.
- Audit application of logistics safety controls at the workface.
Logistics safety: protective equipment and its verification
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1The permit regime logistics safety needs, and the one it does not
- Prepare the summary of transport and logistics safety that senior management will read.
- Distinguish symptoms from causes when logistics safety underperforms.
- Make the reporting route for hazards in transport and logistics safety short and non-punitive.
- Benchmark the organisation's logistics safety against comparable operations.
Session 2Assessing the hazards in transport and logistics safety without turning it into paperwork
- Plan the sequence in which improvements to transport and logistics safety will be introduced.
- Close out corrective actions on logistics safety with a named owner and date.
- Check the procedure for transport and logistics safety against how the work is actually done.
- Rehearse the emergency and rescue plan for logistics safety, do not just publish it.
Logistics safety: occupational health and long-term exposure
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Rescue arrangements for logistics safety that have been rehearsed
- Prepare the response for the most likely failure in transport and logistics safety.
- Confirm that controls on logistics safety sit as high up the hierarchy as reasonably practicable.
- Set the review interval for transport and logistics safety and who attends.
- Confirm isolation and lockout arrangements for logistics safety are proven before work starts.
Session 2Investigating an incident involving logistics safety without hunting for blame
- Ask the people doing transport and logistics safety what makes the procedure hard to follow.
- Estimate the resource logistics safety requires to run as designed.
- Investigate the last incident involving transport and logistics safety to root cause, not to immediate cause.
- Record who is authorised to work on logistics safety and when authorisation expires.
