OHS for Trucks and Heavy Vehicles
The Push for ComplianceRecently we have seen severe penalties being handed out to Freight Companies for incidents that could have bene avoided. Truck Driving and interstate transport has faced the price of fuel hikes, driver shortages and a range of challlenges over the years.
The recent focus from regulators has added to the pressure that operators have to withstand in order to operate a profitable company. With that said, simple measures can be taken to avoid accidents occuring in many situations.
