The Western Australian Freight and Logistics Council, in collaboration with Western Roads Federation is demonstrating our ongoing leadership as part of the COVID-19 Management response, and have developed an online awareness course for Truck and Delivery drivers. With restrictions beginning to ease and more businesses reopening, ensuring that freight operators remain vigilant to minimising the risk of the spread of COVID through deliveries, has become even more important.
- The course development has been funded by the FLCWA and will be ready to go live this week.
- The model includes certification of completion and a vehicle sticker to signify that the Driver has undertaken the COVID-19 Safe Transport training course.
- We are also developing a marketing campaign to build awareness and encourage businesses and the community to use certified drivers.
We have approached the WA Government about mandating that all business COVID management plans include using certified delivery and truck drivers.
