What safety work looks like in transport and logistics
Safety in transport and logistics covers warehouses, distribution centres, depots, and the roads in between. Day to day, that means separating people from forklifts and trucks, manual handling, load restraint, fatigue and shift work, and the safety of drivers and contractors. For businesses that use heavy vehicles, chain of responsibility adds duties right through the supply chain, from scheduling and loading to the terms agreed with customers.
The roles we recruit
We recruit for site-based and multi-site roles through to national positions, including:
WHS Coordinator
Safety Advisor
Chain of Responsibility Advisor
Injury Management Advisor
Multi-site HSE Manager
National HSE Manager
What good looks like in a hire
A Cert IV or Diploma in WHS is a common baseline, and chain of responsibility roles call for a sound understanding of the Heavy Vehicle National Law, including fatigue, speed, mass, and loading requirements. Because operations run around the clock and across many sites, the people who do well here are organised, visible, and good at working through site managers rather than around them. Injury management experience is valued too, as manual handling injuries are a common source of claims in warehousing.
The market in Australia
We’ve seen transport and logistics grow alongside online retail, and many businesses now run larger, more automated sites with a mix of employees, labour hire workers, and contractors. That growth has made experienced multi-site safety managers harder to find, and chain of responsibility expertise is a specialist skill that not every safety professional has. People often move between logistics, retail, and manufacturing, so a candidate from a neighbouring industry can be a strong fit.
