Encourage our innovators
TT’s Managing Director, Loss Prevention Mike Yarwood commented, “The excellence of these , and many of the other innovations put forward deserve a greater degree of visibility. This is our prime aim in proliferating the Awards in order to encourage our innovators to seek scalability, and by giving their ideas oxygen to stimulate their adoption and adaption by others within the global cargo handling environment.”
The focus of invention
While practical operational devices tended to be the focus of invention and improvement when the Awards were first introduced the intervening years have seen technology based solutions proliferate and advanced training and safety awareness programmes become increasingly effective.
Diversity of entries is truly welcomed
Steele emphasises this development, “Such diversity of entries is truly welcomed. Safety innovation is an exciting element that compliments wide ranging industry work to establish distinct safety culture throughout organisations. A well-run safety-conscious operation is both efficient and sustainable. Running organisations successfully and doing safety well require truly visible and effective commitment from management at all levels.”
The Innovation in Safety Award
The Innovation in Safety Award is part of a continuing development of TT and ICHCA’s shared goal to bring together as wide an audience of like-minded professionals as possible; in order to share experiences of both risks to safety and the successful problem solving innovations they have developed. .
