Fleet safety in the Western Australian government sector

The Government agencies involved in the Fleet Safety Project recognise the need for a balanced approach to fleet safety and vehicle selection that considers: lease and operating costs; environmental considerations: the WA Government has made a commitment to best practice in environmental sustainability; fit for purpose vehicles: Government agency staff in regional and remote areas may require larger vehicles; risk and insurance factors: safer vehicles have the potential to reduce personal injury costs; occupational safety and health issues: WA occupational safety and health legislation defines the vehicle as a workplace and duty of care provisions when driving also exist for employers and employees, and road safety: the introduction of fleet safety policies and the selection of safer vehicles can reduce road trauma in Western Australia.
