Government Releases Safe Rates, Safe Roads Discussion Paper
A range of practical strategies to reduce deaths and improve road
safety are canvassed in a discussion paper released today by
Parliamentary Secretary for Workplace Relations, Senator Jacinta
Collins.
The “Safe Rates, Safe Roads” paper, explores options for a national
approach to truck drivers’ pay and conditions and safety measures
across the industry.
Safe Rates: Safe Roads will inform the Government’s response to the
National Transport Commission Report, Safe Payments Addressing
the Underlying Causes of Unsafe Practices in the Road Transport
Industry, which found a link between road safety and pay rates
for truck drivers.
The paper is now available for public comment until the consultation
period ends on 28th January 2011. The Department
of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations is seeking input
from individuals, industry participants and the wider community, as
well as state and territory governments, to help guide reform in
this important area.
The discussion paper is available at:
