Trucking Safety Management Systems
A Trucking Safety Management System (SMS) is a structured approach used by trucking companies to ensure safe and efficient operations. It involves developing policies, procedures, and practices to prevent accidents, manage driver behavior, maintain vehicles, and comply with regulations. The system includes regular training, monitoring of safety performance, and continuous improvement efforts to reduce risks on the road. Ultimately, an SMS aims to protect drivers, other road users, and cargo while enhancing overall operational safety and compliance with industry standards.
