The employees of Guðmundur Tyrfingsson Ltd have formulated a safety policy and set themselves the goal of ensuring that safety and comfort of passengers is always in the forefront. When a new coach is designed and built, we consider how it is possible to increase comfort and ensure safety. The fleet of coaches is amongst the newest in the country; our goal in safety issues is to be with good dependable drivers and the newest vehicles, along with ensuring safety and comfort where possible.

The driver:
It is very important to have good dependable people who can take on any situation that may arise. From the beginning (1969), the company has had extremely good workers who undeniably explain the success of the company through the years. We put an emphasis on the ability and reliability of employees, along with providing the best staff training that we can.

Preventative maintenance:
Highly experienced people work at our garage who see to the crafting of new vehicles along with all maintenance. Great emphasis is put on maintenance being preventative and a register of the vehicles is kept in order to have the best overview. Our passenger coaches are designed and crafted by our employees and safety matters are ranked highly in the whole process.

Brake system:
Nearly all of the company’s vehicles have the ABS brake system. These significantly increase safety, especially on wet and slippery roads. Great emphasis is laid on the vehicles always being correctly equipped relative to conditions, e.g. that tyres are in keeping with conditions, so that in winter vehicles have nailed tyres.

Seat belts:
Seat belts, either two or three pointed, are in all seats in all our passenger vehicles.

Safety matters:
Our goal with this policy is to work systematically so that safety is ranked highly and accidents and mishaps as few and minimal as possible. Each year a safety and environmental course is held for all employees whereby these issues are covered in detail. For instance, included in the safety course is a valid first aid course with qualified instructors, and in addition all safety equipment is gone over that affects drivers and passengers. The holding of this course is a regular happening every autumn.
