Transport & Logistics

BBS is a management programme that aims at increasing safety of operations by positively influencing the behaviour of all persons involved, through a process of observation, coaching and communication.

The overall objective is to improve safety performance of both the chemical industry and the transport industry. BBS guidelines have been developed for the safe driving and the safe loading & unloading of road freight vehicles.

A tool to assist overcoming language barriers in the communication between drivers and operators at sites. It offers a concise dictionary of the most frequently used words and phrases in transport, loading and discharging operations, translated in 26 European languages.

SQAS is a standardised assessment to evaluate the quality, safety, security and environmental performance of logistics service providers and chemical distributors centrally managed by Cefic. Assessments are carried out by independent assessors.

An SQAS assessment offers a detailed factual and objective report, which each chemical company needs to evaluate according to its own requirements. It shows the LSP the areas for improvement and offers a guideline towards these improvements. It does not lead to official certification.

Absence of adequate equipment, procedures and training may put drivers and operators at risk and may lead to serious accidents. SULID provides guidance on the exchange of technical and safety data between (un)loading sites and carriers/drivers in a structured and harmonised way.

SULID has been developed for (un)loading sites of bulk liquids, bulk solids and packed goods. It was created jointly by Cefic, ECTA, FETSA and FECC .
