Health and safety Considerations:
Moving Goods Safely (MGS) is a national project involving both the Health and Safety Executive (HSE)
and Local Authorities (LA) working in partnership. The project aims to reduce injuries and ill-health arising
from the movement of goods from supplier through haulier to the recipient and end user including any
home deliveries. The project will focus upon the delivery and collection of goods and the hazards this
generates. It covers the main areas that cause the majority of injuries and ill-health to workers, including:
Ÿ
Workplace transport;
Ÿ
Slips & trips, and;
Ÿ
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD).
The movement of goods presents us, as health and safety regulators, with the challenge of dealing with a
huge variety of issues. The commercial organisations involved within the movement of goods are diverse
including haulier, third party logistics providers, pallet networks, retailers etc, with some very large
companies, thousands of small businesses and the self-employed. The movement of goods is more than
just trucks on the road with a large proportion of accidents happening at the delivery/collection sites that are
often not directly under the control of the company making the delivery or collection. Communication and
cooperation problems can arise due to the many organizations involved in the movement of the goods, and
this can also lead to difficulties in effectively managing health and safety.
