At Clarke Transport, safety is our utmost priority, embedded in every facet of our operations. We have recently upgraded our PPE signage and Site Safety Boards across all depots to reflect this commitment. These enhancements not only tackle immediate safety requirements but also exemplify our long-term dedication to fostering a secure working environment for our employees. Safety at Clarke Transport is not just a protocol; it is a fundamental aspect of our organisational culture, shaping our decisions and guiding our actions. Our approach is always safety first. We consistently remind our employees that safety first is not only our goal but also our core value.
Our Commitment to Safety First

This program has proven invaluable in highlighting potential safety issues that may have otherwise gone unnoticed, allowing us to address them efficiently.
The new Site Safety Boards are strategically designed to keep safety at the forefront of everyone’s mind. They display crucial information, including ongoing safety performances and specific PPE requirements for each depot, ensuring all employees are informed and compliant.
We also host quarterly safety workshops aimed at sharing best practices and celebrating our safety achievements across depots. These sessions not only reinforce our safety protocols but also foster a sense of community and shared responsibility among employees to maintain high safety standards.
