operators in relation to surface transport. The survey was endorsed during the 2022.1 meetings of the Postal
Security Group and Committee 1 of the Postal Operations Councii. The data collected wiII be anaiyzed with a
view to providing an understanding of the current safety protocols used in surface transport at a regional level,
and determining any necessary steps forward to improve the safety of the supply chain, postal workers and
customers.
Your responses to the questions wiii heip increase the understanding of this compiex topic; as such, your
cooperation is encouraged and greatiy appreciated.
