Health, Safety & Environment
How we protect drivers, cargo, the communities along our routes and the environment.
How we keep people, cargo and the environment safe
Heavy vehicles, abnormal loads and dangerous goods can put drivers, other road users and whole communities at risk if something goes wrong. We plan the safety of every job before the truck leaves.
Anyone working for us can stop an operation that puts people or the environment at risk.
If something goes wrong

Protect life

- 02
Protect the environment

- 03

Driver training
Drivers are trained before they take on a job, and safety refresher courses run every year.
Defensive driving
Anticipating hazards on the road and driving to avoid them.
Road risk management
Planning routes, rest stops and check-ins around the risks on each road.
Fatigue management
Recognising fatigue and planning driving hours to prevent it.
Hazardous cargo
Handling and driving classified dangerous goods under the rules for each class.
Hazardous materials
Moving hazardous materials needs an emergency response plan that works in practice, so we run drills to test it in real road conditions.
Along the routes we use, we work with the communities and the emergency services so they know what we carry and what to do if there is an incident.
Environmental policy
Environmental protection is part of every job we plan.
- No operation starts without an environmental risk assessment.
