The National Waste & Recycling Association (NWRA), Arlington, Virginia, and Together for Safer Roads (TSR), New York, have partnered to extend the Focus on Fleet Safety Training Program to independent haulers in the waste and recycling industry.
TSR says its Focus on Fleet Safety Training Program helps independent fleet operators develop a safety culture with best practices drawn from TSR’s group of fleets and technology companies. The program is structured around training development, safety leadership and technology and includes executive coaching and before and after benchmarking.
“Small to midsize fleets account for roughly 88 percent of all commercial fleets on the road,” TSR Executive Director Peter Goldwasser says. “The Focus on Fleet Safety Training Program is a commitment to saving lives and creating safer roads. We are excited to partner with NWRA and to be recognizing the integral role that independent haulers play in the waste and recycling industry.”
Through its collaboration with NWRA, TSR seeks to address the challenges and needs of the waste and recycling industry.
“Our partnership with TSR and the expansion of their Focus on Fleet Safety Training Program underscore our dedication to ensuring that every operator, regardless of size, has access to the tools and knowledge needed for a comprehensive fleet safety program,” says Kirk Sander, chief of staff and vice president of safety and standards at NWRA. “We’re not just promoting compliance; we’re fostering a culture of safety that goes above and beyond.”
NWRA and TSR are in the process of identifying fleets to participate in the new Focus cohort. For more information, visit TSR’s website.
