New Bus Breakdown Guide

Breakdowns are one of the most common safety risks in the bus industry. While breakdowns can occur in all motor vehicles, the hazards associated with bus breakdowns, where the vehicle is usually carrying public passengers and often schoolchildren, can be significant. A new Bus Breakdown Guide has been developed to help manage roadside hazards so that everyone stays safe. The Guide was developed under the Australian Government’s Heavy Vehicle Safety Initiative (HVSI) program which funds initiatives that will deliver tangible improvements in road user, road and heavy vehicle safety.

Bus Rollaway Prevention: On average there is one heavy vehicle rollaway per day in Australia, 60% of fleets have experienced a rollaway, with 18% of these rollaway’s resulting in a fatality. Unfortunately, Buslink NT was one of these fleets that experienced a rollaway which resulted in a fatality. ComfortDelGro Australia (CDC) are working hard to turn a negative into a positive, developing a video to educate drivers and to help prevent rollaway’s in the future. The video also highlights common circumstances in which a rollaway may occur and provides effective measures to mitigate any such event. CDC invites all bus industry operators to download the video for internal driver training and awareness, to share the video with their employees to reinforce best practices for prevention.
