MARY - CWU Safety Reps - Get to Know Her

Post by brothermagrew »


LTB 140/09 - Royal Mail - "MARY" (Management and Assessment of Risk in Yards) - New Yard Risk Assessment Tool.


There have been a number of workplace transport and yard accidents on Royal Mail premises including fatalities involving our own members and members of the public. Additionally the HSE have undertaken prosecutions as well as served both Improvement Notices and Prohibition Notices on Royal Mail. We have expressed our concerns to Royal Mail previously and called for a thorough review of Workplace Transport Safety and Yard Risk Assessments prior to the introduction of "MARY".

Would Safety Representative give this matter their immediate attention and carry out inspections as well as initiating local discussions with management about these risks and Risk Assessments ("MARY"), looking at where safety improvements can be made to avoid further accidents.
