Health & Safety

We prioritize safety through comprehensive measures, employ technology for secure operations, maintain rigorous maintenance, and foster mental health in a supportive workplace culture.

Our Top Priority

Nurturing a culture of safety excellence.

Amar proudly boasts industry-leading safety ratings including our exceptional CVOR score and zero-claims record over our 25 years of operation. As fleet operators, we take pride in our low accidents-to-equipment ratio. Our status as a safe, reliable transportation provider has allowed us to be one of the few North American carriers permitted to operate LCV vehicles and trusted to handle oversized, out of gauge (OOG) and hazardous shipments.

Company-Wide Precautions for Employee Safety

We are continuously making improvements to minimize any risk of injury for our employees. This is achieved by investing in latest model equipment including new generation cranes to reduce operator hand and arm strains as well as automatic power units featuring cruise control functionalities and ELOGs to prevent driver fatigue.

As part of our mission to promote a collective commitment to safety, all Amar employees undergo intensive training and educational programs whether working at our terminals, warehouses or on the road. This helps to raise awareness of any potential safety hazards and empowers our team to protect themselves and avoid workplace incidents.

Our employee safety training also includes providing our drivers and staff with the required information to respond to emergencies and safely react to unforeseen incidents.

GPS integrations in all fleet units & Amar-owned containers
All power units installed with advanced driver assistance systems including forward collision warnings, lane departure warnings and real-time alerts to prevent accidents
Two-way in-cab cameras featuring AI to monitor driver behavior and alert dispatch of distracted driving, tailgating, speeding and other unsafe practices
G-Force trackers to alert dispatch of harsh braking or turning

Intensive Container & Fleet Equipment Maintenance Practices

Our terminal staff are dedicated to ensuring your freight remains in top condition while in our care on the road and at our facilities. This involves ensuring our trucking equipment remains in optimal condition with regular scheduled maintenance to minimize mechanical issues on the road and any associated downtime. They also conduct rigorous pre- and post-trip inspections of your container shipments to ensure your container freight is free of any damage and all accounted for.

Our Commitment to Mental Health

Mental health is also a high priority at Amar. We are dedicated to creating a supportive environment that promotes the wellness of our drivers, operators, and staff. To establish a healthy, open workplace culture, we have implemented several mental health practices including training all management and leadership on how to make all employees feel heard, respected, and happy in everything they do for Amar.
