Announcement from Shane Falkiner, Compliance Manager – Linfox Asia Pacific
Compliance Checkpoint compliance tool goes live
I am pleased to announce that the Compliance Checkpoint compliance tool (App), a computer-based compliance audit tool, will be introduced to Linfox’s Australian business today. The tool will allow our Compliance Team to easily review any site’s performance against all relevant company policies, OH&S regulations and vehicle regulations.
The tool has been tailored for Linfox by supplier Compliance Experts. It is an Australian first for a transport and logistics business and will be rolled out in New Zealand and Asia in late 2008.
The tool will allow Linfox to conduct Compliance Reviews that include the Retail Code of Conduct, Heavy Vehicle Accreditations, Dangerous Goods, Sub-Contractors, Linfox Safety Standards, Comcare self-insurance obligations and more.
Compliance Team members in the field will use a tablet device linked to a central server, which holds up-to-date information on policies and regulations, allowing team members to have ready access to this information.
Following a site audit, a detailed report can be provided to every level of our business on the level of compliancy of a site, business, state or country. The initial report will be two pages, with the ability to produce detailed results and corrective action reports (CAR’s). The system is web based with security access limited to the Compliance Team.
The Compliance Checkpoint compliance tool will contribute significantly to Linfox’s efforts to deliver an efficient and comprehensive audit and compliance solution. It will optimise our compliance capabilities in light of the ever-changing legislation and regulatory laws, and will ensure our legal compliance is maintained to the highest possible standard.
The Compliance Group’s goal is to establish Linfox as the most compliant logistics provider globally. The tool will optimise our compliance capabilities and will assist us in ensuring our legal compliance is maintained to world class standards.
