The Bus Industry Confederation (BIC) continues to advise and support governments across the country in the revision of bus safety requirement policies — particularly on dedicated school bus services.
The BIC has developed a suite of operator guidelines and industry advisories on fire, passenger door, roll-over and seatbelt safety, for example, as well as submitted numerous papers to key government stakeholders and reviews. Its Safety Initiatives Paper details key topics and matching recommendations, including implementing a national harmonised approach to bus safety awareness aimed at education in schools and the general public.
