Safety
OUR GOAL: ZERO ACCIDENTS
Safety is at the core of our culture at Contractor Transport (CT). We firmly believe that every accident—and thus every injury—is preventable, and this philosophy is ingrained in every CT representative through a combination of technical driving protocols and continuous training. We empower all employees with stop-work authority—if something isn’t safe, it doesn’t happen. We also extend this safety commitment to our subcontractors and partners, ensuring alignment across all teams. This approach leads to outstanding safety performance, even in challenging environments such as hazardous conditions, severe weather, and remote locations.
Our unwavering commitment to safety benefits both our workforce and our customers. By minimizing accidents, we reduce operating costs and increase productivity, as less time is lost to workplace incidents. Most importantly, our team members return home safely to their families at the end of each day.
At Contractor Transport, safeguarding people is our top priority, second only to solving customer challenges. We never compromise our focus on health, safety, and environmental (HSE) standards for business outcomes. Our dedication to safety ensures we minimize environmental impact, mitigate risks to our employees, and uphold safe work practices. Every Contractor Transport employee takes personal responsibility for their own safety and the safety of their colleagues.
Contractor Transport will continue to keep its strategic focus on these key HSE areas:
- Effective leadership and commitment
- Continuous improvement of our Management Team
- Training and competency of our employee workforce
- Providing mechanisms for employees to communicate and address risk
- Continuous improvement of technology and processes to mitigate HSE impact
- Verification of performance through robust audits, and communication of key learnings
Mentorship Program
Safety and dependability are core principles of our strategy and guide everything we do. To ensure this, we have a rigorous, safety-focused onboarding process that pairs each newly hired driver with an experienced mentor. This mentorship program allows new drivers to learn first-hand about our safety culture and the high level of customer service our clients expect. The mentor provides hands-on training and support until the new driver is fully prepared to work independently, a process that can take weeks or even months. As a result, Contractor Transport has earned a reputation for being one of the safest, most reliable, and cost-effective carriers in the industry.
