Trucksafe

TruckSafe Pty Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary company of the Australian Trucking Association. TruckSafe is a business and risk management system that is aimed at improving the safety and professionalism of trucking operators nation wide.

It is an industry initiative, which delivers competitive advantages to accredited operators.

TruckSafe accreditation is based on four key standards:

1. Management – Aimed at ensuring that a trucking operator has a documented business system which covers each of the standards
2. Maintenance – Aimed at ensuring vehicles and trailers are kept in a safe and roadworthy condition.
3. Workplace and Driver Health – Aimed at ensuring that drivers are fit and healthy and Occupational Health and Safety requirements are met.
4. Training – Aimed at ensuring that drivers are licensed, authorised and trained for the tasks, which they are undertaking.

These are the minimum standards a trucking business should meet for it to be a safe, responsible operation. For operators, accreditation shows that they are meeting their due diligence and duty of care.
