Shipping company joins RSSB to benefit from rail’s safety culture

UK: DFDS Seaways Immingham has joined the Rail Safety & Standards Board as its first shipping company member.

This provides the freight shipping, warehousing and logistics operator with access to RSSB’s resource library and ‘world class’ training on human behaviour, safety culture developments and safety processes and practices.

‘DFDS has introduced a new safety management system and a safety culture programme across the business’, explained Managing Director Andrew Byrne. ’We considered which industry to use to benchmark ourselves against, and the rail industry is one that has many similarities to the port industries. RSSB can help us to create a wider safety network outside of our traditional industry partners which will help us to see different perspectives and share and learn best practices.
