Women road transport workers met for the first time in London in September 2005 (see report, below, for details). As a result, some new initiatives are being developed for the Road Transport Section. One of these is a survey of women in the industry focusing on health and safety issues, carrried out between 2006-2007.

The ITF has produced a report (see below) on the findings “Women on the road to a safe and healthy working environment”.  This ground-breaking guide has been prepared for trade unions in the transport sector, with the object of encouraging them to work closely with women workers in the sector.
