ITF comment on Doha container death

Noticias Nota de prensa

"This latest death highlights the importance of the ITFs campaign against overweight containers. The accurate measurement and regulation of containers by the industry at every point is essential to ensure safety for related workers, in road and rail freight and in its loading and discharge.  Not withstanding the progress made, some stakeholders in the industry are resisting accountability on weight."

He concluded: “We hope that this latest incident will be investigated and necessary measures taken.”
