We have a great safety program
and we're proud to tell you about it . . .

We run one of the safest fleets in the industry. 

At Dennis K. Burke, we’re proud of our great safety record and commitment to the community. We train and maintain our own staff of long-term professional drivers. Our “Road Scholars” are recognized as some of the safest and most well-informed drivers in the industry.

The reputation our staff has earned is well-deserved and we take great pride in their professionalism and how well it reflects on our company.

Understandably, employing a long-term staff is an important part of any company’s safety strategy. We like to view our training as a long-term investment too. It helps to keep our team’s focus on doing their job safely.

An incentive to keep us trying harder to do our jobs safely.

Recognizing our employee’s safety performance is an important part of our safety program. We confer cash awards that increase from year to year. Dennis K. Burke recognizes each employee’s years of continuous accident-free service with cash awards that increase $100 for each year of no-fault accidents. The program rewards the achievements of drivers and warehouse staff who have a safe year around the facility and on the road. Recipients also receive a Safety Service Award Pin from the National Safety Council.

Most safety procedures we learn
are just based on good common sense.

• We supplement our safety meetings and hazmat training with the National Safety Council’s programs.
• As a member of CHEMTREC, our products’ safety info database is immediately available through a toll-free emergency response service.
• We try to discuss new regulations, safety on the road, and dealing with hypothetical emergency situations.
• Our Safety Committee prepares for our meetings by collecting any information, updates and regulations that could help to shape the scheduled agenda.
• Our employees also foster better relations with their customers as a reliable source of knowledge about products and their uses.

We take a lot of pride in helping
our customers with their programs.

To learn about hazardous material handling and accident prevention, we run through hypothetical emergency situations, so our drivers are more aware of possible hazards and better equipped to handle these incidents. We bring our industry knowledge and equipment savvy to the community too. We visit with local fire departments to help them learn about the equipment and train for emergency situations. We lend our staff and equipment to participate in emergency planning drills and mock scenarios.

If you need information about starting your own safety program, give us a call. We can give you a few tips to get you on your way. The commitment isn’t easy, but the rewards are well worth the time invested.
