Perspectives for HSEQ leaders in ports, logistics and manufacturing — thinking on workplace safety, risk and operational performance from the team behind RoboK SiteLens®.
Port Injuries in 2025: 213 Lost-Time Injuries, 1,333 Near Misses — UK ports' injury rates have mostly fallen since 2020. In 2025 they rose: more lost-time injuries, more RIDDOR cases and one death. The industry's own benchmarking, year by year, with what it can and cannot tell you. (Data & Benchmarks, 27 October 2026)
Warehouse Injury Rates in Great Britain, Sector by Sector — HSE estimates that 2.6% of warehouse workers are injured at work each year, above road haulage and the transport sector as a whole; post and courier is higher still. The sub-sector figures, the reported injuries behind them, and what they cost. (Data & Benchmarks, 27 October 2026)
Struck by a Vehicle: 2% of Workplace Injuries, 16% of Deaths — Being struck by a vehicle is 2% of reported non-fatal injuries and 16% of deaths. The gap between those two numbers is the whole story of workplace transport risk. (Data & Benchmarks, 27 October 2026)
Your Bowtie Diagram Has No Time Axis — The bowtie is the clearest picture of risk the profession has produced. It describes the day it was drawn. (Industry Thinking, 26 October 2026)
Dark Yards: The Four Weeks After the Clocks Change — The layout, the vehicles and the people are the same as they were in September. The light is not. What that does to pedestrian and vehicle risk, and what to check this week. (Seasonal, 26 October 2026)
Active and Reactive Monitoring: What HSG65 Actually Asks For — The HSE's own guidance names two kinds of monitoring. Most organisations do one of them well. The other is where the information you need lives. (Industry Thinking, 17 October 2026)
Plan, Do, Check, Act — The Check Is the Hard Part — H&S management is ordinary management: objectives, then the capability to meet them. The difficulty is that near misses and incidents are lagging indicators — they describe a world that has already moved. (Industry Thinking, 10 October 2026)
Where Does Your Site Sit? — The headlines carry the largest fines. The public register carries the median — and the median is a far more useful number to plan with. (Data & Benchmarks, 29 September 2026)
