2011 CTA Fleet Safety Award
For the second consecutive year, Young's Commercial Transfer, a renowned name and leader in California's agricultural transportation industry, has achieved a remarkable feat by winning the prestigious CTA Fleet Safety Award from the California Trucking Association (CTA). This honor is a significant recognition of our unwavering commitment to safety and excellence in an industry that is both challenging and crucial to the state's economy.
The CTA Fleet Safety Awards are not just accolades; they are indicators of a company's dedication to creating and maintaining a safe working environment for its employees and the general public. These awards recognize those companies that stand out in their efforts to reduce accidents through the design and implementation of exemplary safety programs. At Young's Commercial Transfer, we understand that safety is not a one-time effort but a continuous journey toward perfection.
The process of winning this award is rigorous and thorough. An independent panel of judges, comprising experts selected from various government agencies, undertakes the critical task of reviewing the self-audit results submitted by participating companies. This review is comprehensive, covering multiple facets of each company's safety initiatives.
One key area of focus for the panel is the organization and structure of the company's safety programs. They delve into how these programs are integrated into the daily operations, ensuring a culture of safety that permeates every level of the organization. Another aspect is the training provided to employees, particularly drivers, who are on the front lines. This training is essential in equipping them with the necessary skills and knowledge to operate safely under various conditions.
Furthermore, the panel examines the supervision of drivers, an aspect crucial for maintaining high safety standards on the road. Preventive maintenance of the fleet also comes under scrutiny, as well-maintained vehicles are less likely to be involved in accidents. Finally, the panel assesses the overall record of accident reduction, which serves as a direct indicator of the effectiveness of the safety measures implemented.
Winning the CTA Fleet Safety Award for the second year in a row is a source of great pride for Young's Commercial Transfer. It reaffirms our position as a leader in the agricultural transportation industry and highlights our continuous efforts to improve and maintain the highest safety standards. We are dedicated to upholding these standards and continuing our journey towards making our roads safer for everyone.
