Policy & Procedure Development

At Accreditation Services Australia, we specialise in comprehensive policy and procedure development tailored to meet the diverse needs of transport operators. Whether you’re seeking accreditation under NHVAS or WA HVA, or need robust business policies to ensure operational excellence, our expert team is here to support you.

Safety Management Systems – Chain of Responsibility (CoR)

We develop comprehensive Safety Management Systems that provide broad coverage of the Heavy Vehicle National Law and assist your business to demonstration the work done to ensure safe transport operations under that legislation.  

A Safety Management System is the gold standard in compliance as it takes a risk-based approach to developing measures to manage and control risks within transport operations. Your existing accreditations can be rolled in to this SMS to provide a singular set of procedures against which to manage your business.
