Meet Chris Harris: The "Safety Dawg"
Fighting for Real Value in Trucking Risk
More Than 30 Years of Protecting the Road
Chris Harris—better known as "Safety Dawg"—is a veteran of the trucking industry with a singular mission: making safety accessible, actionable, and profitable for fleet owners.
His insights aren't just theoretical; they are backed by three decades of experience and a rare combination of professional credentials:
CDS (Certified Director of Safety)
CIP (Chartered Insurance Professional)
CRM (Canadian Risk Manager)
Chris is the founder of the Safety Dawg Success Network, where he provides coaching and high-level strategy to safety managers across Ontario and Canada. Having assisted over 150 companies to date, Chris continues to bridge the gap between technical compliance and real-world fleet success.
"I spent years at Old Republic Insurance watching a frustrating cycle: trucking companies pouring hard-earned capital into safety consultants who checked boxes but offered zero real value. The industry didn't need more 'consultants'—it needed a watchdog."
That’s why I became the Safety Dawg. I’ve spent the last 30 years stripping away the fluff to give North American trucking managers the data-driven, risk-mitigation tools they actually need to protect their fleets and their bottom lines.
