Public Road Safety
Boral originally produced a Road Transport Code of Conduct in 2009 for their Extractive Materials Fleet, and has continually improved and updated new editions of the Code. The Road Transport Code of Conduct spells out the expectations Boral has of their drivers.
Road Transport Code of Conduct
Our Logistics Team conducts ad-hoc controls on Queensland roads, especially when carting materials for major projects, to ensure our truck drivers comply with the Code. In the last 23 months (2019-2020), since we kicked off driver behaviour monitoring, we have conducted 34 reviews that recorded the driver conduct of 508 individual vehicles. This adds up to one review every three weeks, each usually taking approximately 6 hours including travel time. This service is provided by the Queensland Logistics Team in addition to their normal duties.
The checks have been conducted at our major transport routes including the Moy Pocket quarry haul road, as well as access roads to main highways and major projects.
These checks and statistics also assist during investigations of community complaints. Since the introduction of the Code, community complaints have significantly reduced.
A combination of the Code and associated driver training resulted in Boral’s truck drivers developing a greater understanding and sense of inclusion.
Outcome: The Road Transport Code of Conduct gained the acknowledgement by Government, road users, and the community of the professional and responsible approach to road haulage adopted by Boral and its drivers.
