I've been known to do SAFETY and COMPLIANCE for trucking companies | Host of the podcast “Trucking Safety” | Founder of REBELHOUSE
Safety doesn't need to be complicated. You can boil it down to three steps. Step 1. Explain what the safety objectives are. Say in very clear terms what you expect from your drivers. Step 2. Educate everyone in the organization on how to achieve your safety objectives. Don't overlook educating those that work in front of a computer! Step 3. Enforce! Make sure everyone knows you're serious about reaching your safety objectives. If there are consequence that need to be enforced, make sure you do it.

4. Execute Work Instruction Expectations Step 4. Write down expected driver responsibilities when entering or exiting their company assets. I.e. Signature Requirement: Because we are a highly reputable organization, our drivers are expected to complete at each stop a pre-check and post-check inspection of our assets to make sure that our assets are in good working order and are roadworthy. Failure to let dispatch know of issues and fixing the asset in a timely manner will terminate your position. Doing pre & post-check inspections on your company asset is not a paid duty but a responsibility to your owner, the shipper, their brand, products, and fellow citizens on the road, for your well-being and your family.
