Health and Safety Policies from Our Alberta Hauling Company

Inter-Rail Transport is committed to planning and providing a safe work environment for employees, customers, and the general public when we perform hauling work. Safety is part of every job and is a responsibility for everyone working at Inter-Rail Transport. This includes personal safety and protection of equipment in accordance with company practice, industry standards, and government regulations. Safety, like any other management system requires inputs, outputs, full participation and commitment from all levels of the organization to achieve and maintain success.

Specialized Safety Instruction

One of the key aspects of health and safety is meticulously selecting qualified applicants who work well in team situations. All of our hires must provide references of past employment and pass a drug screen and a road test under real driving conditions. Everyone will be subject to a comprehensive background check. Employees receive safety training in the following areas:

• Field level hazard assessment and identification
• Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG)
• Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS)
• Hours of Service regulations (Canada and U.S.)
• Fundamentals of cargo securement
• Personal protective equipment (care and use)
• Incident and accident review
• Emergency response

Practical Training for Our Truck Drivers

At Inter-Rail Transport we favor practical, hands-on training. We believe that the best way to learn is through careful coaching, which involves continual training, motivation and inspiration throughout the whole process. There is always room for improvement, and our employees are always learning more. Our drivers are coached in all aspects of our business, including:

• Safe driving habits
• Loading and offloading procedures
• Equipment use
• Winching techniques and procedures
• Combination trailer use and more
