P Renault working with the ECG H. ECG is the Association of European Vehicle Logistics and provides a platform for the finished vehicle logistics sector in Europe. In October 2017 during the biannual Industry Meeting between the ECG board and senior logistics managers of the OEMs a passionate call for the establishment of a cross-industry working group to reduce accidents in vehicle logistics was made. Renault was very quick to support this initiative and the ECG Health & Safety Working Group was born. The first meeting of this working group identified road transport and ‘falls from height’ as the priorities since these generally account for the most serious accidents. Regrettably, fatalities are not unknown. many languages including ‘Safe Loading Process’ and ‘Safe Yards’. Training courses have been run across Europe to support ‘safe loading’ and an industry website has been produced to encourage truck operators to upload details of incidents to enable analysis and promotion of the results to allow everyone to learn from them. Since then several sub-groups have been formed, all of which have been very active. A number of documents have been produced in ECG is grateful to all those who have participated in, and supported, this working group for their efforts in helping to make our industry a safer place for our employees. No-one should ever be injured delivering a car - and this is the goal we all aim for. Ergonomics EFPD3a I.

In parallel a new risk assessment process was introduced which consists of three main elements and covers all business scopes. Ergonomics memorandum, Workstation evaluation methodology & Ergonomic Mandatory rules all of which were finalized in 2020. All elements will be utilized upstream in projects to eliminate the introduction of ergonomic constraints whilst simultaneously applied in serial life to identify opportunities to enhance working conditions. Ergonomics memorandum 1. The memorandum is a reference guide which encompasses standard ergonomic principles, adapted to all fields of activity. It has been widely distributed within the company in booklet and digital form, and is available in three languages. Ergonomics evaluation method 2. The workstation ergonomics assessment methodology was improved in consultation with the Global Ergonomics Network and other key partners. Ergonomics Mandatory Rules 3. The key criteria’s and experience gathered from all previous works has been consolidated into 6 Mandatory Rules. A deployment roadmap has been established which consists of training supervisors who will be shadowed by ergonomic specialists.
