Safety and Risk Management

Safety is intrinsically embedded in the psyche of our organisation. Our safety standards are nationally compliant and we constantly exceed industry safety excellence through a range of programs and systems.

Greyhound's maintenance services division have a reputation for service excellence which is backed up by quality suppliers such as Scania, Bridgestone, BP and CBC. Our Nationally Accredited Maintenance Program (Pronto Xi) meets and often exceeds the highest fleet standards of all state governments.

Greyhound's VDO Fleet Management system is a state of the art tracking system and it provides valuable information to mechanical engineers and maintenance staff 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

VDO allows real time tracking of our vehicles and monitors;

• Vehicle location and GPS positioning which lets you know where your staff are at all times.
• Real time monitoring of vital coach mechanical conditions like oil levels, engine temperatures, engine revs, electricals, road speed etc. which gives us the ability to minimise the risk of incidents or breakdowns in or around the mine site.
• Real time recording of driver and driving hours, which improves our overall safety and fatigue management.
• Driving behaviours like harsh braking and over speeds, this allows us to respond to any emerging issues as and when they happen.

To comply with your risk management systems all Greyhound vehicles can be made site compliant to your requirements plus our staff are available to undertake site induction and training as required.

By using Greyhound Commercial services you can improve your company's fatigue management by providing a transport solution to your personnel. Greyhound can tailor a solution to meet your needs, which means your staff do not have to drive after a long shift and will get home safely.

Environmental Efficiency

Research has shown that one full coach has five times less CO2 emissions per passenger per kilometre than a jet aircraft on the same route, and for every full coach, there are 16 fewer cars on the road. This makes coach transport a very environmentally efficient mode of transport.

All Greyhound buses are fuelled with the cleanest diesel on the Australian Market, BP 10PPM.

Our coach fleet is Euro 4 compliant and is constantly upgraded to ensure fuel efficiency and lower carbon emissions. Greyhound has spent over $11 million in the last 12 months upgrading its fleet to ensure continuous improvements in fuel efficiency and the delivery of lower carbon emissions.
