In most Asian countries such as Sri Lanka India can find loading and unloading workers. In sinhala they called as "Naattamies". They do a great job to the supply chain. I need some literature how this practice emerged? How sustainable they are?
Hi,
Risks associated with traffic movement, pedestrians and plant operations are controlled through implementation of effective systems, improved competency and improved traffic management.
1. Risks associated with manual load handling tasks, load restraining activities and working at heights on trucks are eliminated through higher level controls.
2. Over-centre dogs and cheater bars are phased out of use.
3. Duty holders within the supply chain are actively consulting, cooperating and coordinating activities with all other persons to ensure that workers are not placed at risk of fatigue.
4. Truck drivers and their passengers are wearing seat belts at a higher rate.
5. There is improved capability to manage the risks associated with skin cancer, hearing loss, mental disorders and diesel fumes (cancer).
6. Industry/persons conducting a business or undertaking (PCBUs) have systems and programs in place to facilitate effective early RTW and IM for injured workers.
7. There is increased awareness/uptake within the industry of driver wellness programs.
the sample of logistics workers in the survey is not a random one. Efforts were made fo control against potential sources of sampling bias, and thus mitigate concerns about generalizability that accompany any sample that cannot be randomly selected. Whatever the statistical implications, the practical significance of the highlighted survey findings is little dependent on the absolute perfection of the sampling methods. Given the systematic approach in which surveying was conducted and the controls that were employed, we feel confident in the general accuracy of the portrait that the survey paints of logistics industry.
