The Health and Safety Executive for Northern Ireland (HSENI) will be carrying out a workplace transport inspection campaign at workplaces across Northern Ireland.

HSENI inspectors will be conducting focused inspections to assess the management of workplace transport risks.

The inspection campaign will target three key areas required to manage workplace transport effectively:

Safe Site

Safe Vehicle

Safe Driver

Speaking on the upcoming campaign, Brian Pryce, HSENI principal inspector commented:

“Unfortunately workplace transport continues to be an area responsible for fatalities and major injuries in workplaces.”

HSENI inspectors will be providing information and advice during the inspection campaign.

Where significant risks are found Inspectors may take enforcement action in order to achieve compliance with health and safety legislation to ensure that the risks are properly managed.
