Benefits to your business
Operator accreditation will improve compliance with Transport laws through a complementary reduction in the on-road enforcement for operators who can demonstrate a high degree of assured compliance.
Major benefits of accreditation will be an enhanced image for the transport industry as one that is safe and responsible, with high professional standards. Further benefits include:
- Improvements in safety
- Quality assured compliance
- Consistent standards
- Transparency and accountability
- Improved community confidence
- Preservation of the road infrastructure
- Increase in the productivity of the transport industry through adoption of sound management practices
Main Roads WA will approve and manage accreditation in Western Australia. Accreditation does not exempt operators from complying with other requirements of the Road Traffic (Vehicles) Act 2012.
