  1. Australasian Fleet Management Association (AfMA) National Road Safety Forum Canberra August 24 2012

  2. Corporate Responsibility The act of managing an organization’s activities to identify and remove any negative impact on stakeholders

  3. OH&S and Duty of Care Every employer shall ensure the health, safety and welfare at work of all the employer’s employees Provide or maintain plant and systems of work that are safe and without risks to health Provide such information, instruction, training and supervision as may be necessary

  4. OH&S and Duty of Care Every employer shall ensure that persons not in the employer’s employment are not exposed to risks to their health or safety arising from the conduct of the employer’s undertaking while they are at the employer’s place of work

  5. The High Court’s View It is the employer who must ensure the health, safety and welfare of employees at work. The obligation upon the employer is expressed in terms personal to that employer. The obligation is not expressed in terms of the standard recognised by the common law, to take reasonable care; it is higher.

  6. The High Court’s View Continued It shall be a defence if it was not reasonably practicable for the person to comply with the provision of this Act or the regulations..

  7. Where Do We Stand? • Responsibility defined by law but in a descriptive way i.e. its up to you to define • Responsibility rests solely with the organisation and cannot be outsourced i.e. employees use their own vehicles. • Only defence is that it was not reasonably practicable to comply. Is this financial or activity based?

  8. The issue in perspective • Required to do a risk analysis of your transport related activities • Required to identify risk • Provide direction, guidance & management input to remove or reduce risk • Develop active systems to manage & monitor activity and act on negative outcomes • Is it fare and equitable. No it’s the law!

  9. Where do we Start? AfMA resources • Self Audit Tool • Safer Motoring How to Guide

  10. Safety Self-Assessment Audit Tool • Achieving best practice • Approaching best practice • Below best practice • Well below best practice • Poor

  11. The Audit Tool Management Commitment-level 1

  12. Completing the Survey

  13. Barriers to Safety Just don’t understand. Not my responsibility, • Pay Employees to use their own vehicles • Outsourced the task Taxation system • Stamp Duty • Fringe benefit Tax

  14. Effect of Taxation FBT levied at 20% of vehicle purchase price. • 100 vehicles on a four year ownership • $2,000 at 20% x 100 x 4 = $160,000 + $200,000 = $360,000 Electric Vehicles (EV’s) • Price difference EV $60,000 - $20,000 = $40,000 • $40,000 at 20% x 100 x 4 = $3.2m + $4m = $7,4m
