    The Human Aspect of Safety
    Apr 25 2025
    AMTA's Kelsey Hipkin chats with Josh Hannaberry, AMTA’s Senior Advisor, Strategic Partnerships, and Christina Sadlowski, CTSP Advisor for Fleet Safety with Strike Group.In this episode, we dive into Christina and Josh’s journey towards getting their Certified Transportation Safety Professional (CTSP) designations, their motivations to pursue the designation, their experience with the process, and how the program encourages collaboration among peers working toward certification.We also discuss how the CTSP and CTSC designations highlight the diversity in commercial vehicle operations - beyond the typical tractor-trailer setups - and the unique safety needs that come with it. Plus, from an insurance and compliance angle, we dive into how the designation supports safety through both the National Safety Code (NSC) and Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) frameworks.Visit AMTA’s website if you would like to learn more about the Certified Transportation Safety Professional (CTSP) program: https://www.amta.ca/ctsp, or the Certified Transportation Safety Coordinator (CTSC) program: https://www.amta.ca/ctsc.
