About the Scholarship
Established in 2021, Construction Logistics and Community Safety Australia (CLOCS-A) is bringing together industry, researchers, major projects and government transport departments to provide the collaborative governance basis to develop and establish an industry-led program. CLOCS-A aims to fundamentally change how the construction industry manages road safety. This would occur through specifications for vehicle operation, vehicle safety equipment and driver training, all developed in collaboration with the sector and engagement with Vulnerable Road User representative groups.
The CLOCS-A Program and its deliverables are guided by the Safe System approach to road safety. The Safe System approach recognises that humans are fallible, and people make mistakes, however mistakes when using the road transport system should not result in someone losing their life or being critically injured. A Safe System, which consists of the road network, its vehicles, speeds and the road users who interact with the system must therefore be designed and used in a way which prevents fatal and serious injury outcomes.
CLOCS-A aims to contribute to and strengthen the elements of the road transport system through best practice strategies proven to reduce road trauma and improve public safety around construction heavy vehicle movements, particularly with interactions between vulnerable road users. Further, it aims to streamline construction project standards by establishing a nationally consistent framework that can be referred to by industry.
Applicants interested in this CLOCS-A Masters program are encouraged to apply. For more information on the Department of Management and Marketing department, click here.
