Our Commitment to Safety
At CRL Express, our commitment is simple: to keep everyone safe.
We recognise our safety duties under the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) and the Work Health and Safety Act to ensure the wellbeing of our employees and the safety of our transport activities.
Why Safety Matters?
We value the benefits of promoting and maintaining safe transport operations—not only for our employees, but also for our contractors, customers, and every road user we share the journey with.
Our goal is to ensure that all activities are carried out in a way that is as safe as reasonably practicable.
Safety is at the heart of our operations. We commit to managing risks responsibly, supporting our people, and maintaining safe, reliable infrastructure that respects both people and the environment.
This commitment is achieved by:
- Providing safe systems of work, equipment, and machinery.
- Delivering information, supervision, and training so employees can work safely.
- Equipping managers to take precautions to prevent illness and injury.
- Consulting with employees through safety committees and officers.
- Regularly monitoring workplaces and striving for continuous improvement.
- Setting targets, allocating resources, and implementing safety programs.
- Ensuring employees follow all safety requirements and safe work practices.
- Minimising risks for visitors and contractors, ensuring their work meets agreed safety standards.
All CRL staff, contractors, and visitors are expected to observe this policy and report hazards. By working together, we can protect the health and safety of everyone.
At CRL Express, we recognise that open communication and consultation are vital to a safe workplace. Employees are actively encouraged to take part in our safety system by contributing ideas, raising concerns, and participating in risk assessments and the development of safe work practices. Safety information is shared through team meetings, notice boards, emails, intranet updates, and direct verbal communication where needed.
At CRL we maintain clear procedures for consultation and issue resolution, and review these regularly with our employee’s input. By working together, management and staff ensure that health and safety decisions are well-informed and that our workplace remains safe for everyone.
