New Release: 3 Points of Contact Heavy Vehicle Toolbox Talk

Falls from trucks can result in fatal or serious trauma.

A major triggering factor for falling from heights is the wrong footing (i.e. slip, trip, mis- step), accounting for 27% of these types of falls. Descending from the cab has been identified to be particularly problematic.

It is well known fatigue affects driving, and it is important to know it can also be a contributing factor in falling from the truck.

A fact sheet, poster, facilitator guide, overview and PowerPoint are also included. The fact sheets are available in three different versions, depending on the audience. One is targeted towards drivers, one towards companies and the other includes all the information.

The Toolbox Talk is designed to be flexible so your organisation can present or distribute it as you see fit.

The package was peer reviewed by industry experts to ensure it is relevant, accurate and delivered in a way that will engage drivers. This information is sourced from a combination of industry bodies and scholarly texts.

The HVTBT project is delivered thanks to key funding provided through the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator’s (NHVR) Heavy Vehicle Safety Initiative, supported by the federal government.

NRSPP thanks its industry working group, which consists of BINGO Industries, ComfortDelGro Australia, Heavy Vehicle Association of Australia, Holcim, Monash University Accident Research Centre, Qube, Swinburne University, Toll Global Express, Toll Group, Viva Energy and Zurich Insurance.
