Samenvatting
The goals of this synthesis were to identify (1) useful practices for safety management in small companies and (2) a logical and practical progression to more active and comprehensive safety management for small companies as they grow. The report explores small motor carrier strengths and weaknesses and identifies potentially effective safety practices. It found that each company’s safety outcomes are more reflective of its own safety practice and operating environment than whether it is large or small. The audience for this study includes small motor managers, as well as government and industry officials. (Author/publisher)
