ATA chair enrols her company in safety accreditation scheme.
Don Watson Transport has joined industry safety accreditation scheme TruckSafe.
Managing director Noelene Watson, who also chairs the Australian Trucking Association (ATA), enrolled her business to continue improving its practices.
Transport firms need to comply with a number of conditions to gain TruckSafe certification.
Don Watson Transport administration manager Adam Mayhew says the company has improved its processes and procedures since enrolling.
“Joining TruckSafe helped us review and streamline everything. We found that while we had most of the processes in place already, there were a number of different manuals and procedures in place,” Mayhew says.
“We’ve now consolidated these into one consistent manual across all of our operations.”
