On appointment, every driver is put through a stringent training program. This training program concentrates on all aspects of safe and correct driving techniques, as well as on the individual requirements of each client. Vehicles and drivers are also equipped with all the necessary safety equipment to comply with legislation and customer requirements.
It is a long standing rule at Dalinjebo that drivers should be well rested. It was established that most accidents involving heavy motor vehicles can be attributed to fatigue.
Each vehicle is equipped with a state of the art tracking system, which is a perfect tool in managing vehicle movement, and to monitor adequate daily resting periods for drivers. Drivers are encouraged to arrange with the vehicle co-coordinators for additional resting periods, rather than being tired behind the steering wheel.
The impact of hazardous spills on the environment and human life can be devastating and costly. All Dalinjebo depots are equipped with an emergency cleanup kit to immediately attend to smaller spills. Bigger spills will be attended to by a contracted company.
