The Victorian Government has developed a short online course on COVID Safe practices for truck and delivery drivers to help keep industry safe. |
 |
This course is for people working in the road freight industry including • truck drivers (all sectors, all types of freight, supplies and services) • courier and delivery drivers • operations and compliance staff working with drivers • other staff/owners/directors responsible for managing COVID-19 Risk Management Plans.
No. But it is encouraged as a good reminder of positive hygiene practices that can help us combat the spread of COVID-19. We recognise that a truck is a workplace and want to provide industry with resources to help keep workers safe.
No. But the nature of the industry means drivers travel greater distances and see more of Australia than many of us, particularly now with limitations on movement in and between some states. The course is intended to proactively reduce the potential for exposure and transfer of disease through hygienic practices.
The course takes 30 minutes to complete and is available on your phone, tablet or computer.
You will be issued with a certificate of completion that you can download from your course dashboard.
No. The course is not required for obtaining a permit, nor does it replace the need for a permit.
