Docks / Ports is a very dangerous environment to work in !!!!

Posted by

To all you employers out there thinking about out sourcing / having casual labour within your Port. This is what skilled Dockers deal with every day somewhere in the world.

We all believe that it will never happen to 
us!!!!! this is dock work, it does and it will happen.


The majority of Dockers around the world are paid a good wage, the above pictures are one of the many factors for that good wage to be paid.


There is a reason, why we are proffesionals, there is a reason why we don't get killed every day... The reason is we KNOW what we are dealing with here...
So EU Troika and employers WHO think selfservicing and casual untrained Labour is the way forward, forget it.
WE WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO KILL LABOUR, AND WE WILL NOT LET YOU KILL OUR JOBS, NEVER SURRENDER ! - John Harrison

    I have been in a straddle carrier when it caught fire. Trust me you have never seen a bloke get down those ladders so quick. They go up fast and take hours for fire brigade to put out

    We used to have these machines at Felixstowe in the 70s and early 80s. When you have a mishap in one of these it is normally big league stuff , also people do not realise that there are so many blind spots for the drivers of these beasts.

    your pictures are the obvious dangers in ports but there any many hiden dangers that affect all port workers, ITF safety report points some of these out. Unfortunately the power is with the port/shipping companies. After reading the ITF report it left me confussed as to the unions position and their representation of port workers, have they became to distant from our working conditions.
