Taking the high road with safety

McColl’s continues to improve its safety performance, achieving great results during the 2015-16 financial year.

Our commitment to going above and beyond the regulatory requirements has seen an excellent 50% reduction in Lost Time Incidents and 27% drop in Significant Lost Time Injuries, which continues to be below the industry benchmark.

McColl’s safety improvement program includes:

  • Achieving National Logistics Safety Code accreditation, as developed by the Australian Logistics Council.
  • Implementing a Safety Improvement Group, a dedicated forum focussed on incident trends and reducing risk through innovative solutions.
  • Using telematics to monitor vehicle speed.
  • Improving incident reporting systems to enable trend analysis of risk.
  • Increasing driver diary audits to improve fatigue management.

Safety is one of McColl’s core values. We pride ourselves on creating a safe environment for our people, our customers and the communities in which we operate, ensuring everyone arrives home safe and well every day of their working life.
