The Work Health and Safety Act extends the scope of business liability for driver welfare and is relevant to all industries. A fleet-managed vehicle is considered a workplace. A duty of care is imposed on businesses and fleet managers to ensure the health and safety of drivers as employees within this workplace. The act makes it clear that everybody from business owners and managers to employees, contractors and suppliers is part of the Chain of Responsibility. This means everyone is responsible for taking steps to prevent incidents caused by risks such as mass, load restraint, dimension, fatigue and speeding.
