Setting our Safety Standards

With our driver roster expanding fast and ever changing driving laws such as the new highway code rules, we embarked on another driver training day. 

The weather was kind and the team were (mostly) enthusiastic for this interactive half day session. Expertly led by Ky and Dave, important procedures such as retorques and split couplings were discussed and demonstrated. Not surprisingly everyone has their own way of doing things, but there’s really only one way - the safe way. The team were updated on the strict health and safety standards expected by MRK and it was clear everyone learnt something.

Not stopping with practical hands-on activities we also refreshed driver knowledge with online bridge strike prevention courses - a timely reminder after a spate of HGV bridge strikes in nearby North Wales made the news recently. You can never be too careful!

After the CNG gas truck safety and refuelling training was complete it was time to go home - after all the trucks were washed of course!
