The climax of almost three years activity behind the scenes for the #Stampitout programme, the week will include:
Media resources for organisations to publicise the week
Interactive videos
Toolbox talks
Updated conflict avoidance training
Culminating in Stamp it out Summit
Speaking about the announcement, Programme Director, Kevin Robinson, said,
"When we founded #stampitout tackling roadworker and indeed the wider abuse of transportation workers has been the sole aim of the programme."
"It has long been a blight on our sector and had a massive negative impact on the perception of those whom we wish to influence in choosing our industry as a career of choice.
"Our programme, over time, through the dedication of many devoted individuals has now reached such a point that we are at a stage where key stake holders see it as the bastion of good practice around the subject.
"We now feel that with the level of stakeholder engagement we have it is time to go to industry and issue a rallying call to join us and finally take positive steps to eliminate workforce abuse."
