FTA IRELAND
TruckSafe
From our establishment, our Members have demanded that FTA Ireland develop and implement an industry wide standard that facilitates a path to continuous operational compliance but also provides recognition for commercial fleet operators in the ‘Own Account and ‘Haulage’ sector that meet their minimum legal operational obligations and from that endeavour to achieve sustainable operations through efficient fuel management and continuous professional development.
FTA Ireland Trucksafe standards
| TRUCKSAFE AUDIT STANDARD LEVELS | BRONZE | SILVER | GOLD | GREEN |

They also monitor their performance and take actions to continuously improve their operation and compliance. | The operator must have environmentally responsible systems in place and has demonstrated that they are implemented. It audits its performance and commits to continuously improve and report on their carbon footprint. |
