our commitment to safety
THE ADOPTION OF THE 4 CORNERSTONES OF SAFETY
In 2018, our company embraced a four cornerstones safety approach. This approach focuses on four specific things that a driver has personal control over. These 4 cornerstones have built the foundation of our safety efforts at Paper Transport allowing drivers to take ownership of their actions to help prevent the occurrence of safety events. Additionally, they empower our drivers to be safety champions with an obligation to help one another by calling out and correcting unsafe actions or conditions.
