  • We continue to progress work on the Driver Exchange Program and supporting training, and finalising the procurement protocols for the supply of hygiene and sanitisation products.
  • Working groups have been established for the three priority risk areas and will meet to consider implications over a number of time horizons and to identify mitigation actions.
    • Reduced workforce availability due to COVID-19 infections.

A huge effort from many businesses, both within our Member network and externally, has gone into keeping freight moving in response to Covid-19. Today we’d like to extend our thanks to Pascal from WSP who has helped develop the commercial interface linking drivers and organisations for our Driver Exchange Program. He is also part of the Scenario Planning risk identification and mitigation for workforce sustainability risks and has assisted the team in evolving the mapping data requirements, identifying and connecting new sources of data.
