Safety Matters: for us and you.
Headwater Safety - Industry Leading Safety
Headwater Transportation Inc.
As a transportation company, we always wear two hats: employee and public.
Employee Safety
Taking care of our own. We ensure that we have a state-of-the-art hazard identification program that engages our employees. Employees know their equipment and inspect it regularly. They look for hazards, anticipate consequences, and ensure that they will not come to harm. Headwater Transportation is a safe place to work, and people like working with us.
Public Safety
Our job, as transportation professionals, is to ensure that our activities never cause harm to the public. All of the cargo that we haul is heavy, awkward, potentially dangerous, and very expensive. All the risk must be managed, therefore at Headwater, we ensure that all of our employees are properly trained in cargo securement, equipment inspections, and driver fatigue management. We monitor remotely with technology and on the roadside with skilled compliance people. We train every employee in our fleet to ensure that they have full knowledge of their leading role in public safety.
Risk Management
As mentioned above cargo is expensive. Our clients understand that what they build and put on our trailers represents significant effort and investment. They also know that the item on our deck is an expression of their craftsmanship and their pride in the work they do. It is for us too. We seek to mitigate the risks that could come to their product while it’s on the road. Risk management is not just about insurance. It is about professionalism and dedication to the discipline of driving. Our clients can rest assured that they have hired one of the best-prepared companies to move their goods.
Transportation touches every sector of the economy and transportation is close to the public every minute of every day. We are dedicated to a thankless task and, at Headwater, we know that we have one of the largest public safety responsibilities in the country and we know we’re involved with it every day.
Our culture is built around these two ideas: respect your profession and respect the public as well
No one wants to be associated, or have their products associated, with an incident. Headwater Transportation dedicated to ensuring that that does not happen.
We maintain accounts with Avetta, ISN, & ComplyWorks, PIC - Proud Carrier Member and our COR is with the AMTA.
