Transportation safety officer

By law, every business and factory with a certain number of vehicles belonging to the categories specified in the relevant legislation must employ a transportation safety officer (TSO).

The company’s TSO is responsible for the safety and proper functioning of its vehicles and for the training of its drivers. In essence, the TSO determines the organization’s driving culture. In addition to serving as the company’s consultant on transportation safety, the TSO is its liaison official with relevant external bodies, such as the police and insurance companies. The TSO is also responsible for monitoring the transport of dangerous materials and for supervising the company’s transportation subcontractors.
