Giga Safety Day promises cool outlook for staff

As part of Hactl’s longstanding commitment to staff wellbeing and safety, its Safety Team recently organised a "Giga Safety Day" to introduce new occupational safety and health equipment for cargo terminal and ramp staff. Items included cooling vests for outdoor working, equipped with integral fans to help prevent heat stroke. Meanwhile new style safety shoes featured enhanced water resistance and reduced weight.

Representatives from the Occupational Safety and Health Council demonstrated the vest's features at the event, and highlighted best practice in avoiding heat-related illness when working in high temperatures. Staff were invited to try the new occupational safety and health equipment and provide feedback.
