Contractor Management – Since Baiada – An Update: Hear an informative and practical session looking at the latest law in respect of general contractor management and safety. Also understand the planned HVNL reforms and the impact of the 2018 changes to the HVNL on the transport industry.

ROUND TABLE DISCUSSIONS

With a range of topics common across industries, the series of Round Table Discussions are being held across the two day event on the show floor and run as 20 minute topic centred discussions.

Topics in the Round Table Discussions include: issues with employee drug testing in-house; increasing staff engagement while driving a safety cultural change across the company; removing human factors from incidents; and insights into safer driving for work
