TT Club, in partnership with ICHCA, has announced that entries are now open for the 2025 Innovation in Safety Award.
The awards recognise those making significant strides in improving safety within cargo transport.
With today’s freight industry facing numerous risks—from explosions and fires to accidents involving falls, crushing, and moving objects—there is a pressing need to develop better risk management strategies.
TT Club and ICHCA are urging the global freight industry to prioritise safety, using new technologies and expertise to manage risks. Improving safety protects lives, cargo, and infrastructure and enhances working conditions and long-term sustainability.
The awards aim to highlight innovative solutions that prevent both large-scale incidents and the less-publicised accidents that occur daily.
