Truck driver health checks have now been announced for March as part of a joint initiative of Safe Work Australia, the National Transport Commission (NTC), preventionXpress and the Institute for Breathing and Sleeping.
All free truck driver health checks will be conducted at the BP Truck Stop stations at North Lavington along the Hume Highway, Victoria from 11-12 March; and on 13 March at Cooper Street in Epping.
