Throughout OSHA Safe + Sound Week 2018 Highway Transport met the goal of zero on the following:
- zero highway accidents
- zero spills
- zero injuries
Highway Transport did have two minor incidents, so we didn’t meet that goal, but it was an outstanding week overall.
A big word of thanks to everyone at Highway Transport:
- mechanics
- tank cleaners
- office personnel
Everyone worked together to make our Safe + Sound week a success.
Rick Lusby, Vice President of Safety, says, “Congratulations for a job well done, and I challenge everyone to see if we can make each week with these same goals. Let’s strive for Safe + Sound year ‘round! “
Here is Highway Transport’s Certificate of Recognition:

Instructions to employees: Take a picture and send it to your manager. Or simply tell your manager.
