Why is transport safety important?

Transport Safety in Australia isn’t just about numbers and statistics—it’s about protecting the lives and well-being of our communities. The vast distances and diverse terrains of our country mean that road transport is essential, but it also comes with inherent risks.

The risk level in transport operations is influenced by the actions and decisions of everyone in the supply chain. However, organisations often rely on overly complex safety management systems that do not provide a cohesive approach to ensuring compliance with CoR.

A mature and integrated CoR strategy recognises that safety is not the sole responsibility of drivers but involves everyone from managers to subcontractors. Effective CoR management goes beyond regulatory compliance; it enhances operational performance and protects lives.

How can businesses improve?

Transport Safety requires organisations to constantly analyse and challenge their performance and to have a robust strategy to continuously improve to keep up with the dynamic nature of the industry.

Prioritising transport safety isn’t just about avoiding accidents—it’s a proactive investment in your business’s success. Therefore it is important for organisations to ensure the following:

  • Understand the roles and responsibilities within the supply chain.
  • Implement a CoR framework to identify and manage safety obligations.
  • Develop a robust audit and assurance program to monitor compliance.
  • Integrate CoR into daily operations from planning through to incident management.

Embracing a proactive approach to your organisations transport safety creates a positive ripple effect that benefits your employees, your business, and your bottom line.
