TruckSafe Audit Program Overview
What is TruckSafe?
TruckSafe is a nationally-recognised, industry-led Safety Management System (SMS) developed by the Australian Trucking Association to help transport operators meet their Chain of Responsibility (CoR) and heavy vehicle safety obligations.
Certified members receive independent, third-party audits verifying their management systems, maintenance, driver health, training and safety culture.
