DIGEST OF ENTRIES FOR 2ND TT CLUB INNOVATION IN SAFETY AWARD PUBLISHED
Presented at ICHCA’s 65th anniversary conference last year, the 2nd TT Club Innovation in Safety Award aimed to highlight the importance of safety at a time of increased operational demands on the cargo handling infrastructure and operations worldwide.
The digest provides in-depth details of each safety improvement that was submitted for the 2017 Award, comprising no fewer than 22 entries. The range of entries submitted displayed both a great diversity of safety issues, as well as tremendous passion, effort and ingenuity.
NEW ICHCA TECHNICAL ADVISORY SERVICE PORTAL
As you may know, your ICHCA Membership gives you access to ICHCA's Technical Advisory Service. Members can submit a question at any time and get access to expert technical advice on a broad range of cargo handling issues.
As part of a review of how we can improve your access to this service, we have introduced a new portal via the Members Area where you can submit a question at any time and expect a response within a few working days.
If you wish to remain anonymous, simply indicate this on the form when submitting your question and we will not share your details. Otherwise we hope to include your question as part of a future project of making a range of technical queries and answers available to the Membership. More details on this project will be available in coming months.
