Transport compliance is vital at Kinaxia because it ensures the safety of our colleagues, protects our reputation, and upholds our commitment to responsible transport operations. By rigorously adhering to regulations and best practices, we minimise risks, maintain efficient operations, and demonstrate our dedication to continuous improvement and excellence throughout the business.

On-site audits will commence soon – working with all depots, an independent specialist in Operators Licence compliance will be conducting onsite audits to ensure our practices adhere to expectations, enabling us to share best practice across the business and continuously challenge ourselves to improve our systems and processes.

We’ll be running Transport Manager refresher courses throughout May and July, bringing colleagues together. These courses are invaluable, ensuring our teams remain up to date with evolving regulations, industry best practices, and safety standards. Regular training also helps reinforce key compliance responsibilities, supporting managers in maintaining efficient operations and fostering a culture of continuous improvement across the business.

Bridge strike Prevention

Bridge strike Prevention Packs were recently re-trained out across the whole business and this critical area remains a high priority focus of Driver safety.  Our Driver re-training is designed as a reminder, ensuring our Drivers are informed and  supported to make sound decisions on route planning, use appropriate sat-nav applications and carry out essential trailer height checks correctly and logged onto Checked-safe.

Any Driver queries or training requirements should be directed to local Transport Office teams.

Samsara

Southampton, Warrington, Manchester and Rugby fleets have now been fully fitted out with the latest Samsara telematics technologies, and we’re already seeing the positive impact of this powerful technology, with improved fuel consumption (MPG) through better driving standards and less idling.

This technology has been invaluable:

• allowing swift incident investigations and proving third party fault
• alerting us to health incidents and allowing prompt support for the Driver
• minimising risk to Drivers and removing potential blame

Telford roll out is underway, due to compete in May and Stockport will soon be getting started.
