SAFETY & COMPLIANCE
WE ARE COMMITTED TO PROVIDING A SAFE AND COMPLIANT WORKING ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR STAFF, CONTRACTORS, AND CUSTOMERS.
Safety is embedded in our operations, from our initial training to the high-quality equipment we provide to our team from day one. Our approach ensures that every driver, vehicle, and consignment operates within the highest industry safety standards.
Much of our interstate fleet now operates on Electronic Work Diary (EWD) ensuring compliance and visibility with driving hours etc. The company intends to have all interstate trucks on this system in 2026.
We adhere to all legislative requirements and Chain of Responsibility (COR) obligations, ensuring our operations are fully compliant with national transport regulations. Our strong safety record reflects our commitment to maintaining a workplace where risks are minimised, and best practices are upheld at all times.
Nuriootpa Traders holds and maintains current NHVAS Certification allowing our drivers to run under BFM.
