Safety & Compliance

CTAA Is Committed To Providing A Range Of Tools And Expert Advice Directly.

Through our alliance partners, to support the container transport industry and individual businesses to meet their safety compliance obligations.

Safety & Compliance Challenges

The container transport logistics industry chain has unique challenges in meeting it’s safety, compliance and risk obligations.

Within the chain, all stakeholders have obligations to meet multiple regulatory and legislative challenges. This includes Border Force and Biosecurity legislation, Chain of Responsibility (CoR) obligations under heavy vehicle safety laws, State and local government by-laws, as well as workplace health & safety.

While the rate of workplace fatalities and injuries in the sector is improving, transport remains one of the most dangerous industries in Australia.

Without significant due diligence, the cost of non-compliance can cripple a business, and can place business owners and managers at risk of prosecution.

Safety Container Loading & Transport Practices

CTAA, together with Freight & Trade Alliance (FTA), the Australian Peak Shippers Association (APSA), and leading safety management company, CoRsafe, have partnered with the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) to create the Safe Container Loading and Transport Practices campaign.

The campaign is part of Heavy Vehicle Safety Initiative (HVSI) funded by the Commonwealth Government.

The initiative raises awareness of best practice in container loading, cargo restraint, and transport, including the potential legal, safety and commercial consequences of poorly restrained, unevenly weighted or mis-declared cargo inside shipping containers, transported by sea or on land.
