SAFETY CAMPAIGN * Canada - 'The road is their workplace'
Our vision is one in which motorists and truckers respect each other and find better ways to share our roads in a safe and courteous manner
Halifax,NS,CAN -The Chronicle Herald, by LINDA CORKUM -Jun 2. 2010: -- The Nova Scotia Trucking Safety Association (NSTSA) promotes safe workplaces for all trucking companies and their employees in our province... A growing number of our members have taken their safety responsibilities to new heights by signing on to our association’s challenging "Certificate of Recognition" safety program. Compliance with this program demands high standards of safety performance and a commitment to health and safety by everyone within a safety certified company. It also serves as a double check for these companies... Too many motorists in Nova Scotia consider trucks on highways, city or town streets nothing more than large obstacles to be avoided. From my experience in working with the trucking industry, truck drivers often view motorists in much the same way... The trucking industry is key to our economy. Ninety per cent of goods entering and leaving Nova Scotia are transported by truck. Statistics gathered in 2008 showed Nova Scotia employed 7,300 truckers that year...
