December 2023

Dear Subscriber...

Welcome to the December edition of ICHCA Insights. This year has raised the profile of a number of risks to be managed by our industry, including the safe transport and handling of Lithium batteries and EVs which will continue as a point of focus in 2024. However it is also crucial that we continue to look at risks to our people from work place transport. In this issue we give centre stage to G2 Ocean's safety bulletin on fatal forklift incidents. The risk of being struck or runover by handling equipment is in the top three high consequence categories for ports and terminals the world over. We encourage everyone in the cargo supply chain to regularly review their arrangements for workplace transport safety.

Once again this month we commend the always popular Inside ICHCA Australia. We want to say special thanks to outgoing ICHCA Australia Chair John Warda for his massive contribution and support to both ICHCA Australia and ICHCA International boards and our work over many years. Welcome to Scott McKay, ICHCA Australia Chair and new ICHCA International board member.

Looking forward to the new year, we have 'save the dates' for TT Club Innovation in Safety Award Live Ceremony on 22 February 2024 and the next ICHCA Coffee Break Webinar on 12 March 2024.

ICHCA International was a founding contributor to the IMO/ILO/UNECE CTU Code. In this issue we report research from Italy showing that companies that use the CTU Code can achieve measurable improvements in safety, costs, efficiency and reduced damage.

And finally the latest IMO bulletin is available from the link below.

Wishing you greetings of the season and a safe, sustainable and successful new year.

Let’s keep raising safety standards together!

CEO, ICHCA International
