In memory of Steven - Brake.org.uk story

A recent blog by Brake (the charity who organise #RoadSafetyWeek), highlighted the tragic and traumatising death of Steven, a husband, father and grandfather. The incident happened on Netherfield Lane near Ollerton when driving home after a family day out.

After a day of strawberry picking with his grandchildren, a 20cm slab weighing 8.5kg fell from the load of a lorry, flew through the windscreen and killed Steven instantly. The horrific accident was witnessed by his wife, as well as their grandchildren (both just four years of age at the time).

Brake.org.uk raises funds for road injury victims and highlight key areas where the UK can improve road safety. Both TakeAIM and Good to Go Safety support #RoadSafetyWeek therefore we are offering 10% off our vehicle and trailer checklists this week to help make roads safer for everyone.

The tragic death of Steven could have been prevented had an effective system for managing loads been in place on that fateful day. Stevens story is a hard reminder for all companies to properly inspect and apply effective control measures when securing loads to minimise the risks when transporting goods.
