Safety with the Job

We will look at each element in further detail. 

A company s outlook on safety should be communicated to employees, supervisors, and upper management through a written safety policy. This policy is useful in enforcing safety throughout the company. Formats of written policies will vary, but they should be clear and to the point. Sometimes a company s safety policy will include a motto or slogan. This motto is usually printed on various objects and displayed throughout the organization every employee should be familiar with it. 

As mentioned earlier, upper management is ultimately responsible for the safety performance of its motor fleet. It is the responsibility of upper management to designate safety authority to managers and supervisors, who communicate the responsibility down the chain to the drivers. This authority should be delegated to a full- or part-time safety director.
