When our clients place their cargo in HK United's care, they enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing that we possess the necessary training, equipment, and expertise to ensure that it arrives safely at its destination. Our proactive safety culture is shown by the strong ties we have with the Ministries of Labor, Environment, and Transportation.
Our team of field and office safety professionals makes certain that our drivers are equipped with the necessary equipment and training to do their work in a secure manner. Additionally, they monitor and report on key performance indicators in order to improve the efficiency with which we manage and educate our employees. Inquire about seeing our safety handbook!
It is common practice to perform job safety evaluations before to commencing work on any project or contract in order to take preventative measures that will reduce the likelihood of accidents occurring. A safety kick-off meeting is held on the first day, during which expectations are discussed about staging, different sites for entering and exiting, and communication.
Every driver, regardless of whether they are Company Drivers, Owner Operators, or Independent Carriers, receives expert training on a variety of topics, ranging from how to respond to spills to how to manage tiredness, both when they first begin working with us and during their entire career. This training goes above and above the criteria set by the industry, and it includes road testing and semi-annual assessments.
To guarantee that our drivers are providing excellent customer service and to check licenses, logbooks, daily trip inspections, safety equipment, documentation, and personal protective equipment (PPE), our safety team undertakes frequent unannounced visits to job sites. These trips are conducted to conduct spot audits. Without fail, actions are taken in response to reports.
HK United is responsible for all incident reporting on behalf of our clients, including reporting of near misses (which are subsequently utilized to reduce the likelihood of future hazards), work safety evaluations, and incident reporting. In addition to this, we keep a comprehensive service history on all of the equipment, which includes certifications.
