Browns Pass Annual Network H&S Audit with Flying Colours

We're proud to announce that we've achieved a perfect 100% score in this year's Palletline Health and Safety Audit, a fantastic result that reflects the hard work our team puts into protecting our people, customers, and palletised freight every single day.

Every haulage business operating within the Palletline network is required to pass a detailed annual audit. It's a mandatory process that keeps standards high across membership, checking everything from warehouse procedures and vehicle checks to employee training and safety systems.

The audit is carried out to ensure each member meets and maintains strict safety expectations. From forklift checks to manual handling, racking layouts to reporting processes, it's all under the microscope. With pallets constantly moving through hubs, depots, and delivery points, even small oversights can lead to big problems.

As the British Safety Council noted in a recent article on Palletline's safety approach, the network is serious about reducing risks and Browns is proud to play our part.

Passing with a full 100% score means that:

• Our warehouse and transport teams are consistently following best practices
• Our training and systems are robust and working exactly as they should
• We're contributing to a safer, smarter network for everyone

As proud members of Palletline, we know safety is a daily focus. Achieving full marks reflects the high standards we set ourselves and the hard work everyone at Browns puts into maintaining a healthy, safe, and compliant environment for our team, visitors, customers and members of the public on the roads and at delivery locations.
