  1. Safety Management in Chemical Transport Companies Rose-Marie Pype Logistics Manager ECTA, European Chemical Transport Association

  2. Requested Content • Efforts on safe and reliable chemical transports by ECTA • Dangerous Goods transports: challenges and opportunities

  3. European Chemical Transport Association • ECTA international non profit organisation since 1999 = represents the chemical transport companies active in European land logistics • 83 companies, 5000 Mio € and 120 500 employed • To its stakeholders: major chemical producer associations (Cefic), the EU authorities and other stakeholders • = contributes to the continuous improvement in efficiency, safety, quality of chemical logistic chain by sharing learning, conferences and promotion of best practiceswww.ecta.be

  4. Best Practices in chemical Transports • Joint ECTA-Cefic working groups where “Best Practices in chemical Transports” are discussed and compiled to improve safety in the chemical supply chain • Topics discussed are related to health, safety and environment (HSE) issues of the chemical transport and logistics chain • ECTA promotes the ECTA-Cefic Best Practices by sharing experiences within its membership (Conferences, Academy Day) and continuous improvement with assistance of SQAS assessments

  5. Activity of ECTA members

  6. Active in chemical transports in:

  7. Safety Awareness and Behaviour • “Best in class” attitude • Equipment, standards, procedures and training • But also: raising safety awareness of all people involved! = real safety behavioural approach • ECTA supports top down approach: leadership • Mission statements by company responsible

  8. Challenges and Opportunities for Dangerous Goods Transports • In the Baltic? • Challenges: logistic costs are elevated and many countries are involved • Opportunities: harmonised legislation on DGT – restrict tendency to additional country requirements • Specific advantage in Baltic Sea for SSS: “short international voyage” conditions of IMDG • Challenges: resist over-regulation (US emphasis on security)

  9. Security in chemical logistics • T&T: intermodality – unaccompanied transports • Back-office coordination: build on projects such as eCall system (communication to nearest emergency centre) • Issues: false alerts, discrimination of dangerous goods transports • Real threat by organised crime: theft of equipment (not for the goods, but stainless steel) • Selection of drivers: EU wide harmonised driver’s licence + linked by chip info to ADR training certificate • Main future challenge: SHORTAGE OF DRIVERS!

  10. ETAC: European Truck Accident Causation • Human error is main cause of accidents (85.2%) • Of which only 25% are caused by truck drivers • DG transports: behaviour of driver is KEY element for safe and reliable transport! • Roll-out of BBS training of drivers started in 2006 in Scandinavian countries • Already applied in Germany, Poland (by groups such as Hoyer, Star Polska, Vos)

  11. BBS is the next breakthrough ! Procedures Equipment Training SQAS Behavior Based Safety

  12. BBS objective and characteristics • Increased safety by Positively influencing the behaviour • through Observation, Coaching and Communication • In the field of Driving and Loading/Unloading • With Key Measurements to identify individual and • company wide Improvements • All European Chemical Transport Companies are • targeted and picking it up BBS is not a one time program

  13. Carrier Management BBS Process • Policy / Culture • Set targets & Objectives • Implement program • Assign responsibilities Triggers Improvements BBS trainer Record Filing Drivers Key Performance Indicators

  14. Carrier Management BBS Process Triggers Improvements BBS trainer • Trainer qualification • Training content / format • Training plan • Document results Record Filing Drivers Key Performance Indicators

  15. Carrier Management • Targeting all drivers • One to One training • Refreshers training • Commitment BBS Process Triggers Improvements BBS trainer Record Filing Drivers Key Performance Indicators

  16. Carrier Management • Accidents • Fuel • Maintenance • Fines /damages BBS Process Triggers Improvements BBS trainer Record Filing Drivers Key Performance Indicators

  17. Carrier Management • Individual records • Training results • KPI • Results shared with driver BBS Process Triggers Improvements BBS trainer Record Filing Drivers Key Performance Indicators

  18. Carrier Management BBS Process Triggers Improvements BBS trainer • Causes analyzed • Structural trends • Preventive actions • Improvement programs Record Filing Drivers Key Performance Indicators

  19. Implementation guide SQAS questions New chapter 2.3 Carrier Management Role of SQAS Triggers Improvements BBS trainer Record Filing Drivers Key Performance Indicators

  20. DaGoB • Sharing learning is fast forward for all
