Service with Safety

National Tank Services is committed to safety and has developed an internal safety program that honors and rewards facilities that achieve accident and incident free service. 

Shop And Facilities Excellence Program

At National Tank Services, we pursue the highest standards of safety, and recognize continuous improvement in reducing the frequency and severity of injuries for non-driving hourly employees located in shops, washracks and distribution centres.

This group safety program recognizes excellence and improvements in the frequency and severity of injuries for our employees. The program recognizes branches that are injury free during the calendar year, as well as branches that improve the frequency and severity of their injuries at or below company safety targets.
