Tool 3: Code of behaviour
A code of behaviour is an opportunity to allow everyone to have their say, to see the problems others face, and to collectively provide a workable solution to that issue. This should be developed from the framework provided, but you need to add or customise it to suit your particular freight task issues.
Please feel free to discuss with your local Transport Safety Services (TSS) officers if you require information or advice in developing a code.
Transport Operator Code of Behaviour example [DOC 40 Kb].
Tool 4: Information bulletin
The information bulletin is an overview of some key points in preventing rollovers. It may be reproduced as required but only in its entirety.
Truck Rollover information bulletin [PDF 512 Kb].
Tool 5: Example truck models
The models complement the presentation and reinforce the concepts raised. By using scale models you can easily and clearly demonstrate the effects of different loads and different configurations with loads.
The models can be sourced from model design and construction specialists, using the truck model drawings [PDF 636 Kb].
Tool 6: Program video
The video explains the issues, uses realistic models to demonstrate scientific explanations, and shares real life experiences from people in the industry. The video is divided into 8 segments. To save the videos, right click on the link and choose 'save target as'.
