TITLE Network Operations Director ORGANISATION Royal Mail Murphy's presence here has nothing to do with the strikes that boosted 04 volumes for parcel operators. He's here because of the Royal Mail's Safety Concept Vehicle.
Impressive as the DAF/ Cartwright combination is, with 55 safety elements (of which just 11 are legal requirements, please note). more important is the message it sends to all road transport operators.
When the vehicle was launched in May, Murphy dared to question the industry's approach to safety: "If the industry's safety record was a school report, it would say: 'Could do more. Not concentrating'."
Murphy also said: Our safety issues are industry-wide issues." In addressing those issues, Murphy and Royal Mail are leading the industry and challenging it to follow.
