What is TruckSafe?
TruckSafe is a not-for-profit industry focused business and risk management system that is aimed at improving the safety and professionalism of trucking operators across Australia:
It is an industry initiative, which delivers competitive advantages to certified operators
TruckSafe is the first and only industry-led Safety Management System
TruckSafe members achieve certification through independent auditing
Members and auditors are bound by the TruckSafe Codes of Conduct
The integrity of TruckSafe is managed by the TruckSafe Industry Safety Management Council (TISMC)
TruckSafe was set up in 1996 in response to government concerns over what the road transport industry was doing about improving safety.
Developing and implementing practices in accordance with the 2024 TruckSafe SMS can assist organisations to identify and manage their heavy vehicle supply chain risks, as required by the Chain of Responsibility (CoR) laws.
For clients, TruckSafe provides confidence that the organisation has a system in place for identifying and managing heavy vehicle supply chain risks to meet their transport needs.
One of the biggest advantages of being a certified member of TruckSafe is that our members are externally audited by a third party. These external audits can be used as evidence to demonstrate compliance with the TruckSafe SMS which, in turn, can be used if needed in any regulatory investigation or court prosecution as evidence of the identification, assessment and management of heavy vehicle supply chain risks as required under the CoR laws (within the Heavy Vehicle National Law) and the Master Code.
