ATA position on Road Safety Remuneration legislation


 
Following our earlier story (“Safe rates to be debated in parliament”), which incorrectly implied that the ATA supported the Road Safety Remuneration legislation, we reprint below the Australian Trucking Association’s position on the legislation.
 
The ATA will not support or oppose the Australian Government’s road safety remuneration legislation because the ATA is not an industrial relations organisation, ATA chief executive Stuart St Clair said.
 
“The ATA focuses on improving the safety, viability and professionalism of the trucking industry, and our members include both the TWU and employer associations. We do not deal with industrial relations,” Mr St Clair said.
 
“The Government’s bill is clearly about industrial relations. It includes all the usual provisions you would expect to see in an industrial relations bill, including the right of unions to enter businesses and inspect documents.
 
“The ATA will keep its focus on measures that will improve the safety of the trucking industry, including the TruckSafe safety accreditation program.
 
“Joining TruckSafe is the best way that trucking businesses can improve their safety and ensure they comply with the road transport laws. Independent statistics show that TruckSafe companies are twice as safe as non-accredited operators.
 
“For the industry’s customers, using TruckSafe businesses is a simple way to deal with their obligation to take reasonable steps to prevent breaches of the speed, fatigue, and mass, dimension and load restraint laws.
 
“Customers can get on with their core business, without worrying about the details of road transport law. The TruckSafe tick is all the detail they need.
 
“TruckSafe has even been recognised as an industry code of practice by the Victorian Government, which means that complying with the letter and spirit of the TruckSafe standards is legal evidence that a business has met its obligations.”
