Industry Code Resources

The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) has endorsed a growing list of Registered Industry Codes of Practice. We're proud to have operationalised the management of key duties highlighted in various Industry Codes, reflecting our commitment to working with businesses to help them stay ahead of the curve.

Codes under development

In consultation with relevant industry organisations and representatives (Sponsors), the NHVR develops Registered Industry Codes of Practice to address potential safety issues or gaps relevant to a specific industry. Need information on a code we haven’t simplified yet? Reach out to our team today and see what we’re up to.

  • The NHVR states the draft Forestry Log Haulage - Industry Code of Practice identifies the risks associated with loading and transporting logs and describes equipment, procedures, training, and other methods to eliminate or minimise those risks. It includes recommendations for the minimum restraint requirements for different types of logs in different loading scenarios. 

    The code was developed by the Australian Forest Products Association and the Australian Forest Contractors Association with funding from the Australian Government’s Heavy Vehicle Safety Initiative, which is administered by the NHVR.

  • The NHVR states a Grain Transport ICP will make it easier for the grain industry to understand the permits and legal mass limits of the large number of configurations in the fleet. Improved accuracy of truck legal mass limits will improve safety along the grain supply chain.

    A Grain Transport ICP will allow Australia’s agricultural supply chain to remain competitive by providing a legal instrument that allow trucks to load to the mass limit in a way that will protect road infrastructure and drive safety outcomes for the betterment of the industry and all road users

  • The NHVR states the development of clear standards and risk based mitigation measures to address roles and responsibilities of those identified in the livestock transport chain of responsibility with respect to mass management of livestock that pass through saleyard/livestock exchange, lairage and feedlot facilities.
