Abstract:
This article explores the organization of labor protection and strategies to reduce workplace injuries in the transport and logistics sector. The research addresses the growing concerns about occupational health and safety in this field, where frequent handling of goods, equipment operation, and extended driving hours contribute to elevated risks of injury. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative analysis of injury data and safety audits with qualitative insights from worker surveys and interviews. A key focus of the research is on the implementation of comprehensive safety interventions, including safety training, ergonomic improvements, and enhanced incident reporting systems. These interventions were introduced across multiple logistics companies and assessed over a 12-month period. The findings demonstrate a significant reduction in injury rates, particularly in manual handling and driving-related accidents, following the introduction of these measures. Compliance with safety protocols also improved, and worker satisfaction with safety procedures increased. The study highlights the importance of continuous safety training, adherence to occupational health standards, and fostering a proactive safety culture. It provides actionable recommendations for companies seeking to improve workplace safety and reduce the costs associated with accidents and injuries. The results underline the need for systematic and sustained efforts to protect workers in the logistics sector, ensuring both their well-being and the operational efficiency of the industry.
