TruckSafe
B.C.'s truck drivers and the general public will be safer with the new TruckSafe strategy developed by stakeholders and WorkSafeBC.
The TruckSafe strategy is a common sense, community-based strategy that relies on partnerships to eliminate or reduce serious injuries and deaths resulting from truck collisions or incidents.
Coordinated by WorkSafeBC, TruckSafe is a sustainable safety network of practical, cost-effective and workable solutions for improving the safety of the truck driver, the truck, its loads, and the roads for all types of trucking.
The term "truck driver" represents a broad range of transport occupations from log haulers, heavy transport operators, and owner/operators to couriers, public school bus drivers and the bread deliverer.
Over the past several years WorkSafeBC has consulted extensively with industry associations, labour unions, and municipal, provincial, and federal governments and agencies to develop a strategy that would support Road Safety 2010, a national initiative focused on making Canada's roads the safest in the world and the BC Road Safety Plan that identifies strategies and actions that will substantially reduce serious injuries and deaths on B.C.'s roads.
