The freight you move is our most precious one; “zero incidents/injuries” should always be the target. Our training programs are “behaviour based” targeting root problems in the Bus Industry. In this way your professional drivers and supervisory/management staff receive training at the core level allowing them to consider and navigate risk in light of the difficult forces affecting their industry.

AFSI can assist your supervisors and managers by providing policy reviews and updating National Safety Code and other regulatory compliance plans and training programs such as Incident Management. AFSI has resources available to perform fleet safety inspections, examine and recommend possible upgrades to your system of keeping Maintenance records, analyze your current fleet with respect to effectiveness and efficiency of your fleet replacement program, review your Preventative Maintenance Program or build a PM program for your fleet.
