TNT employees are its most important asset and the company invests great effort to ensure a safe working environment. As such employee health and safety is one of the top priorities in TNT's CR strategy.
TNT UK & Ireland operates almost 3310 vehicles from 90 main locations and delivers more than 150 million items a year. TNT's safety programme focuses on both workplace and road safety. This is supported by a comprehensive management system which sets company standards for all aspects of our operations and includes the TNT Road Safety Charter, the company's commitment to minimising road traffic accidents. TNT drivers through the TNT Drivers Road Safety Charter are also encouraged to "sign up" and commit to driving safely in their day to day work.
TNT drivers are fantastic ambassadors for the company and make more than 21 million collection and delivery stops every year sometimes in very difficult circumstances. TNT's new recognition scheme is designed to praise their safe driving skills.
