OHS for the Heavy Vehicle Industry

OHS for Heavy Vehicles including Trucks

Occupational Health and Safety within the Heavy Vehicle industry has been the focus of several Work Cover, Work Safe and Industrial Relations campaigns in recent years.

Heavy Vehicle drivers have had heavy regulations put in place with regard to their working hours and the flow on effects of these additional costs have been passed onto the end consumer.
