EDITOR'S COMMENT
The priorities of the professionals of Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport are firmly on the economy. In a poll of its members ahead of the Comprehensive Spending Review, softer issues (including health and safety) were favoured for cuts whereas measures that promote business were the most popular choice for protection, far outweighing health and safety.
Of course, this does not suggest a cavalier attitude to health and safety but there is a danger that we could focus too much on the economy and cost cutting this year. This must not be at the expense of health and safety. Thankfully we have initiatives such as National Fork Lift Safety Week to keep the message coming out loud and clear that safety remains a top priority.
