An Australian construction logistics safety benchmark accreditation program has received a safety award at the recent Australian Road Safety Awards.
The CLOCS-A accreditation program received the Heavy Vehicle Safety Award at the 15th annual Australian Road Safety Awards in Canberra.
“It’s an extraordinary honour for everyone involved in building this national standard,” CILTA national chair Karyn Welsh says.
“This achievement reflects years of collaboration, persistence and belief in the idea that construction logistics can be safer, more consistent, and more accountable. To all our partners, contributors and early adopters: thank you for your leadership and trust.
“This award is not the destination – it’s a powerful signal that Australia is ready for safer heavy vehicle operations across every project, every site, every journey. Proud of what we’ve achieved, and energised for what comes next.”
The CLOCS-A accreditation program is setting a new national benchmark for safety, sustainability and professionalism across Australia’s construction logistics sector. As the country’s only comprehensive, independently governed standard for managing road transport risk around construction projects, CLOCS-A gives industry, government, and communities confidence that accredited organisations are operating to the highest level of best practice.
Built through extensive collaboration with operators, contractors, asset owners and safety experts, the program provides a clear, scalable pathway for organisations of all sizes to lift performance, strengthen compliance and demonstrate genuine leadership in protecting vulnerable road users.
CLOCS-A accreditation recognises those who go beyond minimum requirements—those who invest in safer vehicles, better-trained people and smarter, more consistent site and journey management.
