Birmingham, UK: Toyota Material Handling is sponsoring the Safer Logistics Theatre at the Health & Safety Event 2022 (NEC, Birmingham, 5-7 April 2022).
The Safer Logistics Theatre is an expert-led, free-to-attend seminar programme covering health and safety within the warehouse and supply chain.
At noon every day during the exhibition Toyota’s Paul Mulcahy and Keith Smith will host a session dedicated to the importance of good mental wellbeing: poor mental health can be linked to physical accidents in the workplace.
They will describe the processes that Toyota implemented during the pandemic and how advances in technology and design play a role in cutting accident rates in the logistics industry.
Mulcahy said: “Toyota has always been at the forefront of the development of new and advanced safety solutions. For example, as long ago as 1999 we launched our iconic SAS – System of Active Stability. Regarded as one of the most important safety developments in the material handling industry, the Toyota SAS dramatically reduces the risk of truck tip-overs by detecting unsafe operating conditions.”
As well as the opportunity to listen to some high quality educational presentations, those attending the Safer Logistics Theatre seminars will earn continual personal development points.
Mulcahy said: “Successful warehousing and order fulfillment is all about maximising efficiency and productivity, but those joint aims should never be achieved at the expense of safety, which is why Toyota is constantly working to develop new and better safety technologies that reduce lift truck accidents.”
