Health & Safety

Central Transport Ltd Health and Safety Statement

At CTL We believe that safety is more than just not having accidents, and that health is more than just not being unwell or in pain. We believe that health and safety is about our ability to enjoy our work while meeting the every-day challenges we are faced with. We strive not only to steer clear of accidents, injuries and ill-health, but also to identify what we do really well, and encourage and improve these things for the benefit of everyone. Health and safety is not an extra; it’s what we do to stay in business.

We’re all in this together.

Health and safety is part of our self-image and who we are. We understand what the biggest dangers are in our work, and we treat them with respect.
