The recently conducted ESTA Safety Survey provided valuable insights into safety perception, practices and expectations across the European lifting and transport sector.
The results highlighted the need for transparency and knowledge-sharing regarding incidents, as well as the demand for harmonisation of HSE training standards.
Based on these findings, the ESTA HSE Commission has decided to set up two dedicated working groups.
The first will focus on developing processes and a system for structured incident sharing within the sector.
The second will concentrate on setting up ESTA safety standards to promote consistent, high safety standards across Europe.
Participants in the ESTA Safety Survey who provided their email address will receive the full survey findings by the end of January 2026.
Iffet Türken, Chair of the ESTA HSE Commission, said: “A remarkable 175 people and organisations from across Europe completed the ESTA Safety Survey and I would like to thank everyone who participated.
“Having such a high response rate provides valuable insights into the importance of safety in the market and demonstrates the strong foundations on which the ESTA HSE Commission can build in the future.”
