Safety, health, environment & quality — built into every load
Industrial freight often includes hazardous products. Our SHEQ approach is designed around the evaluation criteria our clients use to vet transport suppliers.
Zero harm to people, product and the environment
Primehaul's management is accountable for SHEQ performance. Every driver has the authority to stop a load that is unsafe, and every incident — however small — is reported, investigated and closed out with corrective action.
- Hazard identification and risk assessment for every new route and client site
- Documented pre-trip vehicle and trailer inspections
- Driver fatigue management and speed limiting
- Emergency and spill response procedures, drilled with drivers
- Non-conformance, corrective and preventive action (CAPA) process
