Safety Management Council

 

The Safety Management Council is the only national organization dedicated to advancing safe policies, practices and technology; and effective risk management and accident/injury prevention in the trucking industry. SMC also addresses trucking’s unique human resource challenges, health and wellness issues, as well as recruitment and retention strategies. It exists to serve, promote and create value for members and the industry through research, education, information dissemination, peer interaction, consensus building, and incentive programs which inspire corporate and individual excellence and contribute to safer, more secure and profitable trucking operations and industry.

 

The SMC plays an important role in furthering OTA's commitment to the safety and well-being of its members. With a number of opportunities to get involved, fleet safety directors and other safety personnel are encouraged to get involved, stay up to date on the latest industry trends and motivate others to stay safe. Each year, the SMC hosts special events including their Spring Safety Conference and the always exciting Truck Driving Championships. Look for these and their monthly meeting schedule on the OTA Events Calendar.
