Safety is built through continuous improvement, investment, and employee involvement—and NTN has made this a priority for years.

We’ve implemented hazard assessments and job safety analyses to improve machine guarding, personal protective equipment, and safe work practices. NTN has also added dedicated EHS roles at both corporate and subsidiary levels, expanded computer-based learning, increased supervisor safety training, updated and developed new programs (including those addressing automation), and strengthened safety committee engagement.

It's that time of year for heavy duty truck fleets. Temps and summer traffic are on the rise. 🌡️ Summer heat doesn’t just impact drivers, it puts serious stress on your drivetrain.

Higher temps can break down lubrication faster and increase wear on wheel ends.

✅ Check your wheel bearing adjustment is within spec
✅ Inspect seals
✅ Check lubrication condition
✅ Watch for early noise or vibration

Keep your fleet rolling strong all summer with components built for the heat.

The Power of Bower minimizes downtime and keeps your fleet rolling all summer long.

June is National Safety Month.

At NTN, every month is Safety Month—but in June, we take time to recognize the commitment to safety demonstrated not only by our EHS leadership, but by all employees. We’re proud that the Americas region’s safety performance exceeds national benchmarks across all OSHA key performance indicators.

Since 2015, NTN in North America has reduced total OSHA recordable injuries and the injury rate (per 100 employees) by 68%, lost-time incidents by 84%, and DART by 74%.

These improvements are possible only through the commitment of NTN employees—from senior management to the shop floor.

We’ll share more about NTN’s commitment to safety and our employees’ efforts each week during National Safety Month.
