Category overview
Transport and warehousing operations form the backbone of construction logistics, encompassing the safe movement, storage and handling of materials, equipment and personnel across Australian construction sites. This category covers specialised vehicle operations including forklifts, heavy vehicles, car carriers and tilt trays, alongside warehousing activities such as loading, unloading and materials handling. With construction sites requiring constant delivery of materials and removal of waste, transport operations present unique hazards including vehicle movements, manual handling, loading dock risks and traffic management. Effective SWMS documentation ensures compliance with Australian WHS regulations whilst protecting workers, pedestrians and other road users from transport-related incidents.
