According to the Health and Safety Executive, the transport and storage sector has a considerably higher rate of injury than the UK average, and has the second highest rate of total injuries. An estimated 25% of all factory and warehouse accidents occur in the loading bay area, which is not surprising when considering the volume of traffic using loading bays, as well as the variety of personnel who are required to work in the area.
