Mahendra Shah, CMD, V Trans Group says, “We segregate the needs of transporting hazardous goods and ensure that required safety measures are taken as per the instructions received from the client. This includes that our vehicles are equipped with comprehensive spill response kits and PPE, ensuring that drivers are fully prepared with clear protocols for any incident. Additionally, we plane the routes to avoid crowded areas, and our drivers undergo rigorous training in handling dangerous goods and emergency response, empowering them to act decisively in critical situations. Real-time GPS tracking allows for immediate intervention during emergencies or route deviations. Training programs at our CHEMSTORE are very important and effective. These programs are specially designed for handling dangerous goods. Our rigorous, hands-on approach ensures employees retain critical safety protocols with thorough assessments and real-world application.
