Safety & Qualifications

Safety has been one of our core values since 1938. All vehicles are equipped with advanced safety systems including Electronic Stability Programme (ESP). Our drivers receive periodic ADR and Behaviour Based Safety (BBS) training in accordance with EU regulations.

We operate in compliance with SQAS, GMP, HACCP and AEO standards. Certificates are available upon request.

Regular training and refresher training for all employees.

The ESP stability system with which all our vehicles are equipped has repeatedly played adecisive role in driving situations where the driver was at risk of losing control of the vehicle. The system prevents the risk of truck combinations overturning.

BBS training complies with the new EU directive regarding periodic training for professional drivers, which came into effect in the Netherlands in March 2009.

The training provides drivers with tips and practical examples enabling them to drive more cautiously and carefully, reducing their involvement in accidents. This results in lower costs for transport companies, insurance companies and society as a whole.

Increasingly, employers and employees recognise, partly due to the higher retirement age, the growing importance of investing mutually in sustainable employability.

Healthy and productive companies require healthy, productive and motivated people.

In August 2015, Mijnders Transport entered into a protocol agreement to continue investing in sustainable labour relations and sustainable employability.
