At Northern Gas Transport Inc safety is our top priority.  We consider the safety of our employees, our customers and the general public a serious matter.

NGT employs a full time Safety Director along with a Driver Resource Manager both charged with the development and enforcement of policies and procedures that ensure government compliance and a safe, healthy, work environment.   We strive for complete compliance with all U.S. Department of Transportation rules and regulations as well as those of OSHA.  We have earned a satisfactory rating with each of these agencies.

 We hire only experienced individuals and we work with each one to ensure that they have the proper training and tools to perform their duties legally and safely.  Our average driver has over 16.5 years of professional truck driving experience.    

 At Northern Gas Transport Inc we have an active Safety Committee that addresses all accidents and incidents of a safety nature.   In each instance, the committee meets to evaluate the problem, and access what tools, training or processes are needed to prevent the problem from reoccurring. Our drivers participate in a Safety Incentive Program that allows them the opportunity to earn an additional cent per mile for every safe, legal mile driven.  This program is over seen by our Safety Committee.

 Our Risk Management Team is charged with the responsibility of looking over our entire operation from a “what can go wrong, will go wrong” position and takes preventative measures to stop problems before they occur. This team has had great success in designing a “spill kit” which is in each NGT truck to be used by the driver in the event of a minor hazardous material spill. Other such creative ideas are in the works.     

 While in our yard, our equipment is protected by a security system as well as a security guard. A member of our staff is on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to assist our customers or our employees with any challenges that may occur. The majority of our equipment maintenance is performed in our own garage by mechanics with extensive experience in working on trucks and trailers used to transport hazardous materials.  

 Our management realizes that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. We are constantly looking for ways to ensure the safety of our employees, our customers and the public who count on us.
