CILT(UK) Transport & Logistics Safety Forum Conference

Behind every delivery, there’s a network of people whose physical and mental wellbeing is too often overlooked. Whether on the road, in the warehouse or managing operations behind the scenes, our profession faces a unique mix of stress, fatigue, isolation and potential exposure to traumatic events.

This essential conference in the CILT calendar explores the challenges facing today’s logistics and transport workforce - from long hours and sedentary routines to the lasting impact of both on and off road incidents, not just for drivers but for the warehouse staff, logistics teams and the managers who support them.

Through expert presentations, lived experience and practical workshops, we’ll explore how to create a culture of care that promotes wellbeing, resilience and recovery. A key focus will be understanding the impact of traumatic incidents - and equipping teams with the knowledge, confidence and practical steps to support colleagues if the worst ever happens.

Whether you employ staff, manage operations or provide support services to the industry – this event offers insight, direction and tools for building a healthier, safer and more supported workforce.
