Safety & the Environment

Handling of petroleum products requires the utmost diligence.

This is to avoid any potential injuries to employees and the public and to prevent discharges of material to the environment. UPT takes this responsibility very seriously and maintains policies and procedures that meet and exceed legislated standards.

Through certification programs and its own semi-annual training and quarterly meetings, UPT constantly keeps its employees aware of the potential hazards associated with petroleum product delivery and provides them with the requisite training to function effectively as first responders (should an incident occur).

If an incident does occur, UPT employees are trained to implement the following written procedures to deal with it:

Safety Policy & Contingency Plan
Emergency Response Procedures
Policy for Reporting & Investigating Mixes (including spills)
Policy for Reporting Motor Vehicle Accidents

UPT also has all of its equipment registered with the Eastern Canada Response Corporation in order to ensure that any incident will be addressed in a timely manner as outlined by industry standards.

In addition, UPT operates within the following operating procedures to ensure safe, efficient and timely delivery of products to its customers:

Fleet Maintenance Policies & Pre-Trip Inspections
Hours Of Service
Alcohol & Drug Policy

Over the past five years, UPT drivers have achieved an excellent safety record.
