The case for TruckSafe sets out the safety, financial and risk management case for joining the trucking industry’s premier safety accreditation program, TruckSafe. Its contents include:
- how TruckSafe accreditation works;
- how businesses can join TruckSafe;
- independent statistics confirming its safety benefits;
- how similar programs based on the same model have been shown to work overseas;
- how TruckSafe can help businesses meet their chain of responsibility obligations, including with respect to subcontractors;
- the voluntary modules available so TruckSafe businesses can readily meet the requirements of other accreditation schemes;
- how TruckSafe can reduce the number of audits needed to meet the requirements of multiple schemes; and
- how TruckSafe helps businesses keep the focus on safety over time, with a cautionary case study involving an Australian business whose brand is famously based on safety: Qantas.
