Elements and Performance Criteria

  1. Prepare for transport operations
  2. Operational requirement is analysed to establish scope of transport support
  3. Operational or organisational constraints are recognised and transport tasks are planned to align with these constraints
  4. Considerations for planning vehicle movement and tasking are applied to derive most efficient employment of transport assets and personnel
  5. Logistics information systems are utilised to monitor and coordinate transport support operations and to inform decision making process
  6. Transport requests are received and analysed, and transport plan is developed
  7. Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements and recognised safety precautions are applied throughout operation in accordance with standard procedures
  8. Select transport route
  9. Route is planned in accordance with route distance, geography, operational and technical considerations
  10. Route reconnaissance is conducted to gather route information and to assist in transport planning
  11. Transport route and plan are adjusted in accordance with changing circumstances and information
  12. Provide transport operations
  13. Delivery of transport support is managed to meet operational demands
  14. Personnel are supervised, and efficiently and effectively employed
  15. Fatigue management strategies are applied to ensure vehicles are operated by rested and alert drivers
  16. Preparation, movement and use of vehicles is monitored to ensure road transport is conducted with appropriate authority and effectively employed, in accordance with organisational policy and procedures
  17. Maintenance integrity of transport assets is monitored to ensure assets are available for support tasks
  18. Liaison with agencies involved in operation is carried out to ensure most effective coordination of effort
  19. Management and stakeholders are advised when significant issues or developments arise that may adversely impact on operation
  20. Records are maintained and entered into information systems
