Torch Bearers of Safety

The actual users of Transport services are the Manufacturers/Importers/Distributors who sell and distribute their products across India. They play a critical part in defining the safety parameters for their transporters. It is critical for safety norms relating to logistics and transportation to be stated, explained and implemented, in order to ensure that stakeholders directly and indirectly related to the transport of goods are protected from danger. This is even more important in case of an accident to a vehicle carrying goods of hazardous nature.

The parameters determined and regularly monitored by these end-users of transport services creates the required responsibility for safety amongst the Fleet Owners, drivers, employees of the end-users, as well as all others in the transport ecosystem.
