No plan in a manufacturing facility is of greater importance than the accident prevention plan. The degree of safety and the results accomplished are directly proportional to the effort expended to control the conditions, practices, and human actions that are responsible for accidents. This webinar has been developed for the guidance and safety of all employees specifically related to transportation safety.
AFIA’s Equipment Manufacturers’ Committee and Integrator Committee recently completed a guidance document on Transportation Safety and how it relates to the feed industry. This webcast will go in-depth on a number of issues that are covered in the guidance document and participants will receive a copy of the document after the webcast.
