Light Vehicle Specification
Requirements for Light Vehicles operating in the Australian Energy Production Industry
Standardisation
Challenge
Operating Light Vehicles in urban and field / remote locations presents one of our Industry's highest risks. Clear, simple and consistent Industry requirements for Light Vehicles enhances effective management of this risk.
Result
Safer Together has published a Light Vehicle Specification. The Specification applies to all vehicles operated by companies and contractors working in both urban and field/remote areas with a gross vehicle mass of less than 4.5t.
The Specification has recently been updated to address changes in vehicle technology (particularly in relation to driver fatigue and distraction monitoring equipment), operating environment and regulatory requirements identified over the last four years of implementation.
