SAFETY + RISK CONTROL SERVICES

Avoiding the accident

TRUCKING SAFETY SERVICES

Risk Control Services from Great West are aimed at helping you prevent accidents.

For a motor carrier, an accident means lost time on the road. If your driver is injured and needs to take time off, and your equipment is sidelined, at a minimum you’re facing a financial loss from lost revenue and out-of-pocket expenses, plus scheduling issues and delivery disruptions. Moreover, you’re opening your trucking business up to the potential of a lawsuit from a dissatisfied customer or an unhappy employee.

That’s why safety should be a top priority for every motor carrier.

FOCUS ON PREVENTION

The simple fact is that most accidents can be avoided by integrating industry-specific safety services into your daily operations. When you encourage and reward your team to create a culture that emphasizes safety and focuses on prevention, it has been proven time and again to save money and worry down the road.
