VanSafe
What is VanSafe?
VanSafe is a scheme designed by some of the best van operators in Ireland; facilitated and managed by FTA Ireland to recognise excellence and improve operational standards. At its heart is the VanSafe Code which is a Code of Practice outlining ‘what good looks like’ in van operations.
With The Code established, our scheme has been developed to allow operators to ensure their standards of operation meet the requirements as laid out in the Code, enabling them to be recognised as van operators that adhere to a best practice framework. We have now developed the support available not only to those seeking or who have gained certification, but to all van operators to ensure they are operating to nationally recognised best practice standards.
