Welcome to the Safer Ports Initiative 2

The Safer Ports Initiative (SPI) was originally launched in September 2002. Challenging accident reduction targets were set for the ports industry which, by the end of 2004, had been achieved and exceeded.

A Mission Statement has been published to set out the aims of SPI 2: to continue to work towards the highest standards of health, safety and skills in the ports industry. The aims of SPI 2 will be promoted through a series of SPI 2 Regional Events.

SPI 2 will focus on the themes of:

  • Leadership
  • Sensible risk management
  • Industry standards, qualifications and training opportunities
  • Worker involvement
  • Sharing good practice and partnership working

Safer Ports Initiative 2 will be benchmarked and monitored through a combination of continuous improvement in accident rates and qualitative targets.

SPI 2 is a ports industry initiative. It is administered by Port Skills and Safety with the full support of Industry Partners.
