We at Lambe Oil are delighted to announce we have secured our TruckSafe Silver Standard status for 2024. This accolade shows we are committed to maintaining high standards and are continuing to strive forward and improve our operations, for the benefit of our customer, our employees and our business.
The FTAI TruckSafe Awards are awarded for showing excellence in the Irish transport sector. The Freight Transport Association Ireland (FTAI) is a leading trade association representing the interests of companies moving goods by road, rail, sea, and air. The FTAI is dedicated to driving forward standards and best practices in the freight and logistics industry.
The TruckSafe Award is designed to recognise and reward companies that demonstrate an exceptional commitment to safety, compliance, and operational excellence. It serves as a rigorous, independently verified certification that sets awardees apart as leaders in the industry. The accolade reflects adherence to stringent safety protocols, robust compliance frameworks, and a culture of continuous improvement.
The FTAI Accreditation
Securing the FTAI TruckSafe Silver Standard status is no small feat. It represents a company’s dedication to safety and quality. This prestigious accreditation is a clear indicator of a company’s commitment to operational excellence and regulatory compliance.
This award signifies our commitment to upholding the highest safety standards, ensuring that their operations are not only efficient but also safe for our employees, clients, and the public. In an industry where safety is paramount, the TruckSafe Award provides a significant competitive edge, enhancing the company’s reputation and fostering greater trust among clients and stakeholders.
The journey to achieving the FTAI TruckSafe Silver Standard status is characterised by its rigorous evaluation process. Companies must meet a comprehensive set of standards that cover various aspects of operations, including vehicle maintenance, driver training, safety management systems, and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.
The assessment involves a thorough review of the company’s policies and procedures, on-site audits, and continuous monitoring to ensure ongoing adherence to the highest standards. This exhaustive process ensures that only the most dedicated and compliant companies receive the TruckSafe certification, making it a true mark of distinction in the industry.
For Lambe Oil, securing the FTAI TruckSafe Silver Standard status was achieved by implementing meticulous planning, unwavering dedication, and a commitment to excellence, as well as the upgrading of our fleet with a brand new HVO powered truck. We embarked on a comprehensive review and enhancement of our safety protocols, investing in state-of-the-art technology and rigorous training programmes for our staff.
“We are incredibly proud of this achievement,” said Rita Lambe, MD of Lambe Oil. “Our team has worked tirelessly to implement best practices and exceed industry standards. This award is a testament to their hard work and dedication to ensuring the highest level of safety and compliance in our operations.”
Key personnel across the company played a crucial role in securing this award, leading initiatives to improve vehicle maintenance schedules, refresh and enhance driver training programmes, and establish robust safety management systems. These efforts were complemented by regular internal audits and a culture of continuous improvement, ensuring that every aspect of the company’s operations met the rigorous standards set by the FTAI.
Future Goals and Plans
Looking ahead, Lambe Oil sees the FTAI TruckSafe award as a foundation upon which to build. We are committed to maintaining the high standards that earned this accolade, with plans to further enhance our safety protocols and operational efficiencies.
“Our journey doesn’t end here,” said Rita Lambe. “We are dedicated to continuous improvement and will be implementing several new initiatives aimed at further elevating our safety and compliance standards. This includes investing in the latest technologies and expanding our training programmes to ensure our team remains at the forefront of industry best practices.”
On top of enhancing current practices and procedures (as well as introducing new ones), our future goals include doubling down on our sustainability efforts, adopting green technologies, and continuing to lead the industry in safety and compliance. Certainly, over the next couple of years, we will be introducing more HVO powered vehicles to our fleet, as well as recommending HVO to our clients as a better fuel option vs traditional diesel.
The FTAI TruckSafe Award is a monumental achievement for us here at Lambe Oil, highlighting our commitment to safety, quality, and excellence. This prestigious accreditation not only enhances our reputation and trustworthiness but also sets the stage for future growth and innovation.
