Car carriers are a type of semitrailer which exhibit Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) concerns due to falls from height during operations. This paper outlines research carried out on the car carrier sector to prevent hazard due to falls. A new design addresses OHS concerns of falls from height. Injuries are often caused by drivers working above 1.5 m height for loading-unloading of cars, moving decks up and down and strapping cars in. The new car carrier design excels in reducing the risk of injuries to drivers and represents a new bench mark for OHS standards in the heavy vehicle sector. The next step would be to transfer this technology to other similarly affected heavy vehicle sectors.
