Safety

We work to continuously improve the safety of our facilities, our equipment and our operations to minimize risk for our clients, our team members and our crews.

Armstrong considers safety to be the cornerstone for its expression of care for all employees, customers and communities.

Armstrong shows its commitment to safety through a multi-layered approach on a regional and national level. Our Risk Management Department employs an enterprise Safety Director who works closely with each agency on compliance, training and general awareness of policy change. Each Armstrong agency has an Agency Safety Representative (ASR) who reports to his/her agency President and is the point of contact for the Safety Director. Our ASRs go through a certification process which includes:

• Safety from the Top Down training
• Hours of Service, Vehicle Maintenance and CSA BASICs training
• Full Regulatory and Policy Compliance training
• Trends Analysis training
• Monitoring Safety Performance training

As a final step, the ASR must complete a Safety Action Plan for his/her agency. With the Safety Action Plan, ASRs keep track of our continuous safety improvements through performance metrics created by the Department of Transportation and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, as well as our own procedures and policies.

Our drug-free workplace, compliance with the provisions of OSHA Safety and Health Standards, a published Health and Safety policy, and compliance with ISO 9001 standards have led us to be recognized with United Van Line’s Impact Award for claims minimization and Fleet Safety Award for overall risk management performance.

We are proud to be in an industry leader in workplace and roadway safety.
