See: Report No. 34 - The symposium on work-related road trauma and fleet risk management in Australia tabled on 18 April 2002.

About the symposium

On 10 August 2001, the committee, together with Queensland Transport, the Department of Industrial Relations and the Queensland University of Technology’s Centre for Accident Research and Road Safety – Queensland (CARRS-Q), co-hosted a symposium to examine this area of the road toll and the various fleet safety measures used to address it.

The symposium’s 135 delegates reviewed recent research into the extent of work-related road trauma in Australia, the costs of this trauma and how it can best be prevented or reduced. They also considered how governments, employers and vehicle fleet managers are working to address the problems.
