What is TruckSafe?
TruckSafe New Zealand is a not-for-profit industry focused safety management system (SMS) that is aimed at improving the safety and professionalism of trucking operators nationwide.
It is an industry initiative, which delivers competitive advantages to organisations with a TruckSafe accreditation
TruckSafe members achieve their certificate through independent auditing
Members and our independent auditors are bound by the TruckSafe Codes of Conduct
The integrity of TruckSafe New Zealand is managed by the Trucking Industry Council (TIC)
Developing and implementing practices in accordance with the 2024 TruckSafe SMS can assist organisations to identify and manage their heavy vehicle supply chain risks in accordance with the Chain of Responsibility (CoR).
For clients, TruckSafe provides confidence that the organisation has responsible work practices, well maintained vehicles, healthy and trained drivers, and management systems to meet their transport needs.
One of the biggest advantages of being an accredited member of TruckSafe is that our members are externally audited by a third party. These external audits can be used as evidence to demonstrate compliance with the TruckSafe SMS which, in turn, provides a strong defence with respect to Chain of Responsibility.
