Live Q&A for Logistics: Managing Staff and Safety Protocols

Our experts share the practical safety control measures logistics businesses should be taking to keep people safe, how to demonstrate compliance, and ways to improve your claims defensibility. 

We will also be exploring workforce management methods for dealing with COVID-related absences and explaining how to approach refusals to work the right way.

25 February at 14:00

The coronavirus pandemic has had a significant impact on order fulfilment operations. Speaking with hauliers on a daily basis, we understand the day-to-day challenges those in the sector are experiencing; a perfect storm of Brexit and prolonged lockdown restrictions has seen demand outstrip supply, resulting in ongoing safety considerations and workforce pressures.

With the sector being hit from all sides, we are hosting a live Q&A exclusively for the logistic sector to help you manage your immediate challenges and plan for long-term success. 

During this free webinar, our Health & Safety Director, Nick Wilson, will be discussing the safety considerations for employers at the safe at this stage of the pandemic and explaining how you demonstrate compliance and improve your claims defensibility. In the second half of the session, our Employment Law Director, James Tamm, will be addressing common worker issues to help you minimise disruption and avoid legal pitfalls.

Get practical advice, guidance and reassurance on:

  • Safety protocols for your drivers/warehouse operatives and the importance of risk assessments;
  • Introducing practical control measures to keep drivers safe;
  • Dealing with employees raising concerns about the working environment (‘whistleblowing’);
  • Methods for managing ongoing COVID-related sickness and absence;
  • The right way to change employees’ terms and conditions; and
  • How to deal with safety-related refusals to work.

We hope this session will help your business to remain resilient, enable you to fulfil your responsibilities, and equip you to tackle obstacles confidently in the months ahead.

There will be an opportunity to put questions to our experts during the session, so we invite you to think about your urgent queries ahead of time. This webinar is free to attend – to register, please complete the form opposite.
