Safety General Procedures

All vehicles are safety certified in accordance with the National Safety Code. Inspections and repairs are carried out on a continuous basis. Trucks and tractors are safety certified every six months and trailers are done every twelve months. These certifications require a complete comprehensive inspection with all necessary repairs being completed before vehicles are returned to service. Cranes and cherry pickers are inspected regularly by certified engineers and all necessary repairs are also completed before they are put back in service. Trained and certified mechanics are on staff.

Equipment operators are licensed by the Highway Traffic Board, comply with NSC regulations and are trained in WHIMS, TDG, First Aid, Boom Truck and other specialties that their job descriptions require. Special safety attire is worn when necessary. A strict Drug and Alcohol Policy is enforced with mandatory pre-employment and random testing done on a regular basis.

The SAFE operation of all equipment is a condition of employment.

Bert Baxter Transport also reserves the right to protect its employees and equipment from any unsafe working conditions that may develop as a result of customer directives.
