TRUCKERS' SAFETY * USA: To remain in trucks at port terminals

* California - Port terminal operator to require truck drivers to stay in trucks at its terminals

-- By the end of 2016, APM Terminals’ will require all truckers entering their facilities to remain in their trucks... This effort should eliminate one of the top high-risks areas in terminal operations that lead to injuries, the Netherlands-based company announced late last month. Most accidents occur when truckers are driving or waiting in the terminal yard, according to APM’s Jeff De Best... APM owns and manages terminals at major ports around the world... The lead risk areas associated with 90 percent of fatalities at terminal facilities are moving freight; suspended loads and lifting; stored energy or electricity; working at heights and control of outside contractors in the terminal. Truckers and other non-terminal employees are often at the greatest risk of injury during operations... The container terminal operating company describes itself as North America’s largest terminal operator, with operations in Los Angeles, Miami and six other major U.S. ports...
