Five- day blitz by NSW Police following a fatal truck crash this month  

Over a 5- day period on the mid north coast of NSW a total of 199 heavy vehicles have been inspected by NSW Police during the month of August 2019

  • A total of 132 random drug tests were conducted, with one driver, allegedly testing positive to methylamphetamine:
  • 72 traffic infringement notices and defects were issued for tyres, number plate, oil leaks, and work diary offences as well as non-compliant electronic control modules (ECM):
  • Police issued seven Court Attendance Notices for fatigue breaches, recording false and misleading information in work diary

After listening to Mark Wright from FEFO Consulting on the practical application of Chain of Responsibility at the Central Coast Safety Group on 21st August,  it appears there are still many organisations and people who still don’t understand their responsibilities
