A new partnership between the trucking industry’s leading business and risk management program, TruckSafe, and proactive training solutions provider, Freightrain, is set to offer real benefits for all businesses involved in the transport of goods.
For some time, Freightrain has worked with businesses to ensure they meet the expectations and requirements of the new Chain of Responsibility (CoR) legislation.
Under the legislation, all businesses involved in the supply chain can be held responsible for any breaches of transport and safety laws that may occur.
Freightrain provides practical and workable solutions to businesses to ensure they are fully compliant with the law. Now, as a TruckSafe endorsed service provider, Freightrain can also work with a client’s transport operators to ensure they also meet their CoR responsibilities.
By using a number of key audited standards, such as maintenance, training and driver health, TruckSafe accredited companies are among the safest on the road.
In fact, independent statistics show that TruckSafe accredited companies are twice as safe as other carriers. Combining TruckSafe accreditation with its existing training systems gives Freightrain the opportunity to provide clients with even more protection against CoR prosecution.
TruckSafe Chief Executive, Stuart St Clair, says the partnership with Freightrain will enable businesses to ensure all facets of their supply chain are as safe and compliant as possible.
"Under CoR legislation, it’s vitally important for all businesses to make sure their transport operators are at the forefront of risk management," Mr St Clair says.
"By becoming an endorsed TruckSafe service provider, Freightrain can now work individually with its client’s transport companies to ensure they meet the highest levels of safety management.
"By insisting their transport operators are TruckSafe accredited and utilising Freightrain’s CoR compliance program, companies can be more confident about their Chain of Responsibility obligations.
"It’s an assurance that their transport company is audited regularly against the industry’s most stringent safety standards."
