COURSE OVERVIEW
In Canada, the National Safety Code (or, NSC) helps keep our roads safe by regulating commercial vehicles, drivers, and companies that arrange transportation. The NSC outlines 16 standards that each apply to a specific element of transportation, such as cargo securement or driver fitness. These standards apply to anyone involved in road transportation across Canada. This helps keep everything consistent as people and goods move around the country. Considering there are more than 26 million registered vehicles, over 130,000 trucking businesses, and around a million kilometers of roads in Canada, you can see why it’s so important to keep things safe!
