Road freight transport has the highest number of deaths of any industry in Australia.

QTA Ltd, through its participation in the Australian Trucking Association’s (ATA) Safety Policy Group, aims to improve the safety of the trucking industry.  In the 20 years since the ATA was established, the number of fatal crashes involving articulated trucks has fallen by 52 per cent as a result of a concerted effort by governments and the industry. But more needs to be done.
