  • A Safety Culture Transformation: K-Line Focuses On Teamwork And Incremental Change

    When K-Line Trailers Ltd. receives a Topaz award for completing the OSSE Certification at the Safety Pinnacle Awards Gala in April 2018, it will also mark five years of the team working with the Manufacturing Safety Alliance of BC.

  • CTA Reaffirms Plan To Improve Truck Safety Oversight And Hours Of Service Compliance

    “There’s clearly an issue about monitoring,” said Provincial Judge Sean Dunnigan after Crown prosecutor Deanna Smyth detailed the multiple violations under federal and provincial transportation regulations which were not complied with by Adesh Deol Trucking, leading up to the tragic Humboldt bus collision.

    The Canadian Trucking Alliance strongly agrees with Judge Dunnigan and has been calling for improved entry standards and oversight in the trucking industry.

    “While the vast majority of companies go above and beyond in meeting National Safety Code standards through their own progressive safety management systems, policies and corrective oversight, a small percentage of carriers lack the knowledge and preparedness to meet basic standards, says CTA Chair Scott Smith.

  • Bauma Kicked Off In Munich: “This Trade Fair Is A Showcase For Germany”

    German Economics Minister Altmaier, Bavarian Minister President Söder and Messe München CEO Dittrich opened the fair
    3,700 exhibitors presented their products at the world’s largest trade fair
    Altmaier: “We must increase the number of apartments at least by half”
    Söder: “The construction industry is the indicator of our economic strength”

    The world’s largest trade fair opened its doors in Munich: On Monday, April 8, 2019, German Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy Peter Altmaier, Bavarian Minister President Dr. Markus Söder and Messe München CEO Klaus Dittrich opened bauma 2019, the world’s leading trade fair for construction machinery, building material machines, mining machines, construction vehicles and construction equipment.

    Peter Altmaier saluted bauma, saying: “This trade fair is a showcase for Germany.” In an address, the German economics minister also touched on the extremely tight housing market facing the country: “We must increase the number of apartments at least by half in coming years.” The minister said the German government planned to invest up to 10 billion Euros in coming years to finance such things as public housing for low-income citizens, the construction of private apartment buildings and a program that provides parents with a government subsidy paid on a per-child basis to finance the purchase of their own home or condominium. The construction machinery industry that is showcasing its products over the next seven days will play a key role in this effort, Altmaier said.
