Safety

Safety is the highest priority at Pergah Transportation LTD. The safety of all drivers, personnel, customers and other road users is of the utmost concern to Pergah Transport.

Safety will always be an integral part of operations, policies, procedures and programs governing our business.

We believe that safety is the responsibility of every stakeholder of our business, beginning with the Managing Director and ending with you, our valued client. Pergah has a responsibility to:

  • Maintain high standards in employee selection
  • Provide a safe working environment
  • Provide initial and ongoing safety training
  • Eliminate unsafe acts through corrective action
  • Abide by Company Safety policies and procedures
  • Adhere to local safety, Health and Environmental Laws and Regulation

 At Pergah Transport we conduct Daily Safety Meetings as well as Quarterly Driving Seminars with guest speakers for training sessions in which all attendees receive a Certificate of Training. Our commitment to safety is what sets us apart from our competition. We don’t just talk about it, we practice it.

Unlike our competitors we regularly replace our vehicles to ensure that we have the safest, most reliable vehicles on the road. Transport companies who are concerned about public safety adhere to strict service guidelines set forth by vehicle builders and will turn their equipment over as frequently as possible to ensure they operate the safest and newest buses possible.
