Background to STEP
All Transporters (Corporate/Medium/SME) all share the roads.
The lack of resources (big picture view) means that these SMEs do present a high risk on our roads
The SMEs also unable to compete with the corporates in some contracts that demand high levels of risk/safety management.
Large/corporate transport sector well resourced i.t.o risk management/safety systems
SME/micro transport sector often lacking resources and knowledge of transport risk/safety management
RTMS National Committee often indicated the need for a staggered approach to full RTMS certification
