A new partnership between the trucking industry’s leading business and risk management program, TruckSafe, and safe driving and efficient fleet management solutions provider, Driver Safety Services, is set to give Tasmanian trucking operators the chance to improve the safety and efficiency of their operations.
Recently, Driver Safety Services was certified as a TruckSafe Endorsed Service Providers, undertaking training that enables them to assist companies in implementing the TruckSafe system.
TruckSafe endorsed service providers are consultants that an operator can engage to assist them in the implementation of a new TruckSafe system or assist in the maintenance of an existing system.
Driver Safety Services has 25 years of experience in assisting trucking organisations improve their safety and efficiency.
Though up-skilling the Tasmanian road transport industry is its core business, Driver Safety Services also focus on working with both drivers and trucking companies to improve their safety on the road.
Now, as a TruckSafe endorsed service provider, Driver Safety Services can offer operators access to the industry’s own accreditation program.
TruckSafe Chief Executive, Stuart St Clair, said the partnership with Driver Safety Services will enable Tasmanian trucking operators to ensure they are maintaining the highest level of safety.
“By becoming an endorsed TruckSafe service provider, Driver Safety Services can now work individually with its client’s transport companies to ensure they meet the highest levels of safety management,” Mr St Clair said.
“TruckSafe is a business and risk management system that is aimed at improving the safety and professionalism of trucking operators nationwide, so having a partner in Tasmania allows us to further spread the use of the system.
“Becoming TruckSafe accredited not only improves the safety of trucking operations, it can help their bottom line.
“With more and more companies demanding businesses show their compliance under Chain of Responsibility, having TruckSafe accreditation can boost a business’s bottom line.
“A TruckSafe accreditation is an assurance that the transport company is audited regularly against the industry’s most stringent safety standards.”
