OHS & NSC Compliance

Together, the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) and the National Safety Code (NSC) work to govern commercial vehicles and drivers through regulations, education and training. The NSC is a code of minimum performance standards, applying to all persons responsible for the safe operation of commercial vehicles. Commercial vehicle carriers should take the time to ensure that they are meeting OHS and NSC standards to avoid fines and penalties.

Track & Manage Your Driver Training Documents

Set Safety offers a learning management system (LMS) that allows you to easily keep track of all your driver’s important information as it pertains to their certifications. Keep track of:

  • License information (numbers, expiry dates, etc.)
  • Medical certifications
  • Driving abstracts
  • Driver history
  • Collision information
  • Traffic violations
  • Vehicle use agreements
  • Safety training certifications

Once inputted, our LMS will send out automatic reminders to drivers, supervisors and system administrators to alert them when important renewals are coming up.

In the event that your company is audited by the NSC, our LMS also allows you to easily run reports that highlight each driver and their current certification status.
