The New Britain Transportation Company
Safety Department
  |
Our Safety
Department is staffed by a Risk Manager, a Training Coordinator and 4
Certified
Trainers. We provide ongoing training to all of our
employees. We have
monthly
safety meetings to keep everyone informed of the ever changing State
and
Federal laws, rules and regulations, and company policies. We
discuss
passenger
management openly with our employees to allow them to share their
successes and
tips on how they are able to manage passengers. Our Safety
Committee consists of our Safety Department staff, a mechanic and a
driver
representative from each of our school bus divisions and our transit
division.
They review accidents that have happened and make recommendations as
to if the
driver was at fault and what could be done to prevent another
occurrence. They also interact with our drivers to review safety
ideas for continuing education. We also do School
bus safety days for all of the students in our 3 divisions to help
ensure every
child is aware of what is expected of them while they wait for the bus,
ride
the bus and exit the bus. School bus evacuation training for the
students is
imperative in case there is an emergency. Teaching our kids as
well as
parents is just as
important as teaching our drivers the importance of school bus safety. |
