Teletrac Navman has a continuing commitment to supporting and improving conditions for the road transport industry in Australia. We understand the challenges faced by fleet operators and drivers and provide innovative solutions that not only streamline operations but also ensure the well-being of drivers and our community.
Emphasising Compliance: The Backbone of Safe Road Transport
The road transport industry is a crucial pillar of Australia’s economy and daily life, responsible for moving goods and passengers across our vast country. Safety and compliance are paramount to ensuring the smooth flow of transport operations and safeguarding the lives of drivers, passengers, and other road users.
Compliance is more than just a legal obligation. The impact of non-compliance, not only on businesses but also on the lives of individuals and communities, is an issue for all Australians
This month, Teletrac Navman is campaigning to raise awareness and drive behavioural change within the heavy vehicle industry, encouraging all stakeholders to embrace compliance as a shared responsibility. We are strong advocates for compliance to regulations supporting the safety and well-being of drivers and the broader community.
Whatever your role in the business’s operation, if you have any influence, you are legally responsible and part of the Chain of Responsibility (CoR). In the event of prosecution, every party must demonstrate it has taken every reasonable step to prevent law breaches; otherwise, they may be held partially liable for incidents or collisions that occur on the road.
The campaign brings to the forefront the eye-watering penalties for non-compliance. For NSW companies found guilty of reckless conduct under the Work Health and Safety Act, the maximum penalty stands at a staggering $3,721,686. Individual company directors found guilty of category one Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) offences can face a penalty of $300,000 and up to five years of jail time.
Promoting Safety Culture with Telematics Technology
Telematics technology offers businesses real-time insights into fleet operations and driver behaviour. Enabling fleet managers to track vehicles, monitor driver performance, and address potential issues proactively, telematics solutions can be used to optimise routes, reduce fuel consumption, and enhance overall efficiency.
One of the most significant advantages of telematics is its role in promoting compliance. With detailed data on driver hours, fatigue management, and vehicle maintenance, businesses can align their operations with regulatory requirements.
Navigating Regulatory Programs with Ease
Understanding the complex web of regulatory programs can be a daunting task for businesses. Our tailored solutions simplify compliance with regulatory programs, including the CoR.
Our comprehensive software enables businesses to manage CoR obligations effectively, with real-time visibility into the responsibilities of different parties in the supply chain. By streamlining information flow and collaboration, our solutions promote a cohesive approach to compliance, reducing the likelihood of breaches and penalties.
Keeping accurate records of work and rest hours is a legal requirement to reduce fatigue and increase driver safety.Compared to hand written log books, Teletrac Navman’s electronic work diary (EWD) solutions revolutionise the way work hours are recorded. EWDs provide drivers with an easy-to-use digital platform with real-time monitoring and alerts enabling drivers to manage their work hours more effectively.
