Risk Category Standard - Product Transportation

by Murray Taylor, from the Community

This Risk Category Standard provides a structured approach to managing risks in product transportation. It outlines roles and competencies for risk owners and executors, appointment requirements, and core risk management practices. Key guidance includes journey management planning with route risk assessments, driver competency and fitness, adherence to road laws and fatigue guidelines, and compliance for dangerous goods. It emphasizes vehicle roadworthiness through statutory inspections, scheduled maintenance, and pre-trip checks. Safe handling and load security practices cover packing to standards, proper strapping, and controlled loading/offloading with barricades, spotters, and visibility protocols. Documentation such as the Transport Emergency Card and Safety Data Sheets must accompany loads, and emergency response procedures should be understood and followed throughout the journey.
