TruckSafe appoints new Board members
The ATA's TruckSafe accreditation program has welcomed two new members to its Board of ManagementFerdie Kroon of De Bruyn's Transport and Graham Emery of Martin Group have been appointed to the ATA's TruckSafe safety accreditation program's Board of Management.
Ferdie Kroon is the Risk and Compliance Manager for De Bruyn’s Transport in Tasmania. In addition to TruckSafe, De Bruyn's has implemented an award-winning all-of-workforce staff development program to build a strong safety culture within its business.
"I'm honoured to be appointed to this position, and look forward to being an active member of the TruckSafe Board," he said.
"I intend to encourage the actions of members promoting excellence under the TruckSafe banner, and will listen to the concerns of TruckSafe members."

"My priority is creating a safer environment for all road users – trucking operators, drivers and the general public," he said.
"Anything that TruckSafe can do to promote this ideology is very important. I think it's made a lot of sense to combine TruckSafe and TruckCare, and improve the resources available for both programs."
TruckSafe Chair Stephen Marley welcomed Mr Kroon and Mr Emery to the Board.
"Ferdie and Graham have a proven track record in putting safety first in trucking operations,” he said.
"Their skills and expertise in this area will be a valuable addition to the TruckSafe Board, and I look forward to working with them in the future."
Mr Marley also thanked retiring directors Tony McGrath, Chris Melham, Doug McMillan and Bernie Belacic for their contributions to the program.
"We've been very fortunate to have the expertise and assistance of these leading industry figures for several years," he said.
