This year’s theme, “Safety: every job, every day,” aligns perfectly with our mission to make construction logistics safer for everyone — on the road and on the worksite.
Did you know:
- In the 12 months ending June 2025, there were 205 road deaths that involved heavy vehicles nationwide — up 1.5 % on the previous year. Of those, 98 were in heavy rigid trucks (up 18.1 %) and 100 in articulated trucks (down 3.8 %).
- Heavy vehicle crashes account for about 18 % of all road crash deaths in Australia.
- In 2024, 17.9 % of major heavy vehicle incidents were attributed to inattention/distraction — and inappropriate speed remains a key human-factor risk.
At CLOCS-A, we believe safety doesn’t happen by chance. It’s built through collaboration, awareness and a shared commitment to continual improvement. We are specifically focused on:
- Embedding the CLOCS‑A Standard — a nationally consistent framework for construction logistics that helps manage on-road risks associated with heavy vehicles and protect vulnerable road-users (pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists).
- Promoting best-practice across the supply-chain: safer vehicles, trained drivers, enhanced logistics planning and auditing systems.
- Contributing to the infrastructure boom safely — with Australia set to invest hundreds of billions in major projects, this means more trucks on our roads and therefore a greater imperative to manage risk.
We believe that safer construction logistics protect not only workers but the wider community. As a sector, our actions matter.
Let’s continue to make safety a priority every job, every day.
