Transport and logistics occupational safety guide
Drivers, loaders and depot employees work in different environments, but their replenishment must operate within one system.
Where a good specification begins
What should be clarified first?
Roadside exposure, loading tasks and rapidly changing weather mean logistics clothing must be visible, allow unrestricted movement and be easy to replace. A consistent corporate identity is sustainable only when colours, styles and decoration methods remain reorderable over time.
Typical risk areas
- Visibility on roads and depots
- Manual loading
- Changing weather
- Workshop maintenance
Role and task
Which starting kit suits each role?
These are procurement starting points, not automatic PPE requirements.
| Role | Procurement starting point |
|---|---|
| Driver | Comfortable, layerable corporate clothing and suitable visibility when moving around depots. |
| Loader and delivery worker | Lightweight safety footwear, abrasion-resistant gloves and weather-resistant outerwear. |
| Depot coordinator | High-visibility clothing in vehicle traffic zones and a consistent corporate appearance. |
| Vehicle maintenance technician | Workshop clothing, safety footwear and eye and hand protection for maintenance tasks. |

Building blocks for the complete solution
A system, not a one-off kit
Plan in three layers
- 1. Core role kit
- Clothing, footwear and basic PPE used on every shift, with size runs and defined replacement triggers.
- 2. Task module
- Additional protection and checks issued for less frequent but higher-risk operations.
- 3. Reordering plan
- Minimum stock, size distribution, seasonality, inspections and documented approval points.
