Safety Policy

BUS SAFETY POLICY

Crown Coaches has an ongoing commitment to safety and has developed a safety policy which outlines the safety aims, objectives and revision of safety within the organisation. This Bus Safety Policy documents Crown Coaches’ commitment and approach to risk management, reinforcement of a positive safety culture, identification of emerging threats and critical review of mitigation steps applied to risks.

This Bus Safety Policy has been approved by the Accredited Operator and the Crown Coaches Management Committee.
