Transport and manufacturing industry networks

Engage with other businesses in your sector or supply chain, in an informal setting to talk about safety, and exchange advice, information and resources.

Share and gain insight into industry specific issues and solutions, and meet with other stakeholders and regulators within your industry sector. Hear business leaders share their experiences with improving safety. These meetings are open to anyone within your business, particularly to people interested or involved in, occupational health and safety.

Recent network meetings have addressed topics such as:

• Due diligence - what is it? How do you demonstrate due diligence?
• The globally harmonised labelling system and impact on workplaces.
• Why safety culture and climate is important and what makes a safety culture great.
• How retrofitting safety equipment to vehicles in the existing fleet can help prevent workers falling when accessing and maintaining vehicles.
• Fatigue management laws.
• National Heavy Vehicle Regulator proposed legislative changes over next two years.
• Driver distractions and technology.
• Emergency planning.
