Shared learning from ports campaign

Port Skills and Safety (PSS), the UK’s professional ports health and safety organisation, has been running a campaign this November with useful learning for all transport organisations. 

Called Protecting Quay People, the campaign visits the topics of employee mental health and fitness as well as skills and apprenticeships.  Its member ports have produced a series of online articles about how they have overcome challenges this year and found solutions. 

Highlights include thoughts and practical suggestions for training – not just online – when Covid-19 is a concern, a look at the ‘whole person’ approach to safety, how Shoreham Port is helping colleagues keep fit and healthy, and Peel Ports’ occupational health approach to mental health. 

Are there are any ideas you could use to help make your workplace safer and healthier?

You can read CIRAS' contribution to the conversation too.
