Above All: Safety Driven
Safety is the cornerstone of Carlile’s success – for customers, employees, and their families. Our commitment to safety is delivered by every Carlile employee no matter where they work or what they do. Safety is more than a slogan, it’s Carlile’s ultimate mission: to make sure every employee goes home unharmed to their family at the end of each shift. We are safety-driven.
Stop Work Authority
Carlile shipping & trucking employees continually train for all kinds of safety scenarios and are empowered with Stop Work Authority. This means that if any member of the Carlile team – regardless of their position – observes what they believe to be unsafe behavior or activities, they have the power to stop all activities so our safety team can assess the situation.
Safety: On and Off the Road
Carlile invests in technology and safety training practices to make sure its operations do not harm our employees or the people we serve. From drug testing, mandatory rest breaks, and real-time truck and driver monitoring systems, we do everything possible to make sure we deliver safety mile after mile.
Our safety and compliance programs and safety monitoring are just as robust off the road, including a comprehensive set of strict safety protocols of our terminals, yards, dock, and warehouse facilities. If Carlile operates the space, employees and visitors are required to follow specific safety guidelines.
The safety director celebrates 30 years at Carlile
“We worked hard to make our systems and programs electronic and defensible, including DOT Compliance, Hazmat, Hazwaste, Security, Driver Training, Environmental, and all aspects of Safety. The safety piece started for me about the time we joined the Saltchuk family of companies. We tactically rebuilt the foundational elements. If you want to work at Carlile, you have to work safe.” says Lisa Marquiss, Carlile Transportation’s Corporate Director of Safety and Compliance.
Nothing is more important than keeping our employees, customers, and communities safe. Safety Driven.
