Vehicles at Work: Key Messages

The Health and Safety Executive is running a campaign in the North West and Midlands of England to raise awareness about vehicle safety at work. Each year over 70 people are killed and 2000 injured in incidents involving vehicles at work, often during deliveries at lorry parks and yards. The campaign focuses on providing depot managers with tips and checklists to make delivery areas safer, such as designating pedestrian walkways and safe areas for drivers. It also addresses the concerns of professional drivers around safely delivering and collecting goods.

Vehicles at work

Every year 70 people are killed and 2000 more are seriously injured in incidents involving
vehicles at work. Often these incidents occur in a lorry park or yard while goods are being
delivered. In many cases it is the driver who is injured.

The HSE is currently running an advertising campaign on radio and press in the North West and
Midlands to raise awareness among the people who can make a real difference – depot managers
and those who receive or despatch goods.

The concerns of professional drivers, about the dangers of delivery and collection of goods have
also been included.

This campaign focuses on how depot managers can take small practical steps to make delivery
areas safer. Examples include:

Key messages
 Ten top tips for a Safer Site
 Ten concerns of drivers during deliveries and collections
 Delivering safely: co-operating to prevent workplace vehicle accidents
 Useful checklist to help you carry out a risk assessment of your premises

Campaign posters
