Compliance in practice

Not paperwork after the job. Controls before it begins.

Foley Logistics treats safety and compliance as part of everyday operations. Freight details, vehicle selection, loading, access, scheduling and delivery requirements are considered before the vehicle is dispatched.

Our systems are designed to support drivers, operators, customers and sites with clear responsibilities and reliable records. The objective is simple: put suitable people and equipment around the work, manage foreseeable risks and complete the movement professionally.

Safe delivery starts with accurate information, proper planning and people who take ownership.

NHVR accreditation

Three accredited management modules.

Foley’s accreditation supports documented systems for vehicle mass, fleet maintenance and fatigue-risk management. These systems form part of a wider operating approach that includes training, records, internal oversight and continuous review.

01 / MASS

Mass Management

Controls supporting compliant loading, vehicle mass decisions, documentation and nominated heavy-vehicle operations.

02 / MAINTENANCE

Maintenance Management

Inspection, servicing and record systems supporting vehicle condition and safer fleet operation.

03 / FATIGUE

Fatigue Management

Scheduling, work and rest, competency and record controls supporting fatigue-risk management.

Operational controls

The controls behind the vehicle.

Different freight and sites require different controls. Foley’s process brings the critical information together before dispatch and keeps responsibility visible throughout the movement.

01 / JOB INFORMATION

Freight verification

Dimensions, weight, handling requirements, load form and placement expectations clarified before equipment selection.

02 / EQUIPMENT

Vehicle selection

A suitable vehicle and handling configuration selected around the freight, route, access and final outcome.

03 / RESTRAINT

Loading & restraint

Loading approach and restraint requirements considered for the freight and transport environment.

04 / SITE

Access & placement

Access, ground conditions, overhead hazards, delivery windows and receiving-site requirements reviewed.

05 / PEOPLE

Competency & support

Drivers and operators supported with job information, appropriate equipment and operational escalation pathways.

06 / RECORDS

Completion evidence

Delivery photos, signatures, proof of delivery and relevant operational records supporting visibility.

From request to completion

One controlled operating process.

Compliance is strongest when the booking, dispatch, driver, equipment and customer requirements are coordinated as one movement.

01Clarify freight, weight, dimensions, access, timing and placement.
02Select suitable equipment and identify job-specific controls.
03Coordinate the driver, customer, site and receiving requirements.
04Complete the movement and retain the agreed delivery evidence.
05Review feedback, exceptions and improvement opportunities.
Visibility & evidence

Records customers can rely on.

Commercial customers need more than verbal confirmation. Foley’s operating model supports traceable completion information and practical visibility throughout the delivery process.

Live delivery visibility

Progress information supporting customer and site coordination.

Delivery photographs

Visual confirmation appropriate to the agreed delivery workflow.

Receiver signatures

Signed proof of delivery where required by the service.

Maintenance records

Inspection and maintenance documentation supporting fleet oversight.

Training records

Induction, competency and role-specific information managed within operations.

Operational review

Feedback and exceptions used to strengthen future planning and service delivery.

Shared responsibility

Safety depends on everyone in the transport chain.

Customers, schedulers, loaders, operators and receiving sites all influence transport safety. Clear, accurate information and realistic requirements help Foley plan the movement properly.

01

Customer

Provides accurate freight, access, timing and handling information.

02

Operations

Plans suitable people, equipment, timing and controls.

03

Driver or operator

Completes checks and performs the work within authorised limits.

04

Receiving site

Supports safe access, exclusion areas and coordinated receipt.

Accreditation and compliance systems do not remove the need for job-specific assessment. Vehicle capacity, crane capacity, operating radius, ground conditions, route access, load restraint and site requirements must be assessed for the individual movement. Supporting evidence is provided subject to relevance, current validity, confidentiality and the requirements of the individual engagement.
Governance & Chain of Responsibility

A system of control—not a collection of promises.

Safety duties extend beyond the driver. Foley’s operating framework is designed to connect commercial decisions, scheduling, loading, maintenance, fatigue and site requirements so foreseeable transport risks are addressed by the people able to influence them.

01 / PLAN

Risk-based planning

Job requirements are reviewed against freight, route, timing, equipment and site conditions before allocation.

02 / CONTROL

Clear authority

Responsibilities, operating limits and escalation pathways help prevent commercial pressure from overriding safe decisions.

03 / VERIFY

Documented evidence

Relevant checks, records and completion evidence create traceability for customers and internal oversight.

04 / IMPROVE

Review & correction

Exceptions, feedback and non-conformances inform corrective action, communication and system improvement.

Crane truck & lifting controls

Every lift begins before the crane unfolds.

Crane capacity alone does not determine whether a lift can proceed. The load, radius, ground, access, hazards, lifting accessories and receiving area must work together as one job-specific plan.

Final lifting suitability remains subject to the individual vehicle load chart, verified load information, operating radius, site conditions and an operator assessment.

Load informationWeight, dimensions, centre of gravity and lifting points confirmed where relevant.
Crane configurationVehicle, crane capacity, operating radius and placement requirement reviewed together.
Ground & outriggersGround stability, level, outrigger space and underground services considered.
Overhead hazardsPowerlines, structures, trees and exclusion requirements identified before work begins.
Rigging & accessoriesSuitable, identifiable lifting equipment selected for the planned task.
Site coordinationSafe access, pedestrian control, exclusion area and receiving contact agreed.
Operator authorityThe operator can pause or stop the lift if conditions differ from the plan.
Completion evidenceAgreed photographs, signatures and delivery records retained through the workflow.
People & fleet assurance

Competency maintained across the operating lifecycle.

Safe performance relies on suitable people, serviceable equipment and timely information. The operating model supports each stage from onboarding through daily checks and ongoing review.

01

Licence & role verification

Relevant licence, authority and role requirements are checked before allocation.

02

Induction

Company expectations, reporting pathways and core operating requirements are communicated.

03

Competency

Task, vehicle and equipment competency is considered for the work being allocated.

04

Pre-start checks

Vehicle and equipment condition is checked, with defects reported and escalated.

05

Fatigue controls

Scheduling, work and rest records, fitness for duty and escalation support fatigue-risk management.

06

Ongoing communication

Operational updates, toolbox communication, feedback and refresher activity reinforce expectations.

Incident & non-conformance response

Respond, learn and close the loop.

When an exception occurs, the priority is to protect people, secure the situation and preserve accurate information. The response then moves from notification through investigation to verified corrective action.

Make safe and escalate

Stop or isolate the activity where required and notify the appropriate operational contact.

Record the facts

Capture timely information, relevant evidence and the parties involved without assumption.

Assess and investigate

Review contributing factors, system controls and the level of response required.

Correct and communicate

Assign practical corrective actions and communicate changes to affected people.

Verify closure

Confirm actions are complete, review effectiveness and identify wider improvement opportunities.
