APTA's FOCUS ON HSE

APTA is Respected as the Industry Leader in Safety

Making the Roads Safer for Everyone

AB Pilot Truck Alliances' goal is to ensure the safety of the travelling public, our team, and our loads. This is achieved by adhering to our 3 Pillars of Excellence: Safety, Training & Integrity.

Safety is an integral part of APTA’s work.

The key role of the Pilot/Escort is to ensure the safety of all those involved, the travelling public, the valuable load, and the load crew.

The role of the Traffic Control Person (TCP) is similar where the TCP is the front-line contact and is responsible for safeguarding the driving public, workers, equipment operators and any over-dimensional load by warning motorists of danger ahead and guiding them safely through the work zone.

Our Health & Safety Policies are a critical part of our operations and exist to protect our contractors, clients, property, the environment and the travelling public.

APTA operates our Pilot Trucks under a safety program and maintains a valid Certificate of Recognition (COR) in partnership with the Alberta Motor Transport Association. In order to achieve this standard, both management and the employees strive to
meet, or exceed, all legislative and operational requirements.
