About Us

We take safety seriously; so much so, we are distinguished as having the best occupational health and safety record in the Canadian transportation industry. There is no assignment so important that we won’t take the time to do it safely.

Zero Tolerance Safety Program
At Fastfrate, we have zero tolerance for unsafe behaviour. It’s our bottom line policy that commits us to providing the leadership, organization, training and resources required to maintain a healthy and safe working environment.

Through our Joint Health and Safety Task Force, Hazardous Goods Team and Safety Education Program, we have fostered a core group of hands-on personnel whose primary goal is to keep Fastfrate safe.

Joint Health & Safety Task Force
The Joint Health & Safety Task Force is our big safety overview team. They assess conditions and practices, and implement changes where changes are needed. Team members review failures and near misses with the ultimate goal of implementing prevention programs and not simply to assign blame.

The team’s mandate is to provide leadership through research and development; they also conduct regular safety audits to identify where enhancements to the program should be adopted. Beyond implementing recommendations, this streamlined task force will engage injured and ill employees in a Return to Work Program as well as implement and monitor Personal Safety Action plans for all managers and supervisors.

Hazardous Goods Team
Our Hazardous Goods Team is highly skilled in hazardous and sensitive cargo transport. Among the world’s elite, they provide hazard recognition training, risk evaluation and on the job safety measures to their co-workers, nationwide.

Safety Education
All Fastfrate personnel are trained and certified in the transportation and handling of dangerous goods. All forklift operators are trained and licensed, under the Ministry of Labour Standards, to operate forklift trucks and handle propane. All drivers undergo a pre-hire testing and in-depth orientation.
