Joan Gual de Torrella, President of the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB), has delivered sun shades to the heads of Baleària and Trasmediterránea showing the most important safety measures that must be observed in the port area.
In attendance at the event were Antoni Mercant and Eva González, representing Trasmediterránea in the Balearic Islands and Bruno Ceped, on behalf of Baleària. The shipping companies received 280 sun shades to distribute to their lorry-driving customers who visit the APB ports the most, so as to stimulate prevention and compliance with safety measures.
Prevention is one of the most important work areas for the APB and reducing the accident rate in the port area is one of the objectives that this public body strives to achieve on a daily basis.
These sun shades are part of a well-thought-out awareness and prevention campaign that the APB is running this year. Its target audience, the lorry drivers who visit the port area, customers of Baleària and Trasmediterránea, can see advice such as obey the speed limit, use high-visibility clothing and exercise extreme caution with pedestrians written on these sun shades, in addition to protecting themselves from the sun.
