Hi Vis Traffic Difference

The Hi Vis Traffic crews are selected on the basis of their ability to work for a company that is different in its approach to traffic management, with a strong emphasis on Hi Vis Traffic’s role in endeavoring to set a benchmark for Indigenous services to the government and corporate sectors. Staff will be inducted with the relevant and appropriate personal development and training to ensure achievement of a strong brand associated with high-quality service.

Hi Vis Traffic is committed to providing a top-quality traffic management service with a social conscience. We want to make a difference to our community, while ensuring the safety of the public and our employees, and contributing significantly to the ending disparity for Indigenous Australians.

Our work crews are thoroughly trained in the latest traffic management requirements and work safety processes. Your satisfaction is our primary goal. We focus on maintaining the highest standard of services to protect the public’s safety and never compromise on safety and road rules.

Hi Vis Traffic staff are issued with a Code of Conduct and are inducted to ensure a shared understanding of their roles and responsibilities. Each employee receives a copy of The Hi Vis Traffic Team Employee Handbook – a comprehensive document which reinforces this understanding.

We do not engage sub-contractors, to avoid paying award wages to our crews. Hi Vis Traffic firmly believes in paying its staff according to above-award rates, and is totally against degrading employee conditions and the provision of sub-standard, untrained labour. Unfortunately, the traffic management industry has been tainted by the conduct of unprofessional contractors who operate with unscrupulous methods such as using cheap, untrained, sub-contract labour and cash-in-hand payments. Such methods are designed to increase their profits at the expense of their workers, presenting a massive risk to managers, clients, and the public. Likewise, they put their staff at risk, and, causing them to unwittingly contribute towards serious breaches of legislation. All staff employed by Hi Vis Traffic are directly employed and paid in full accordance to award rates. Our workers are fully covered by workers’ compensation, and Hi Vis Traffic has a comprehensive public liability insurance policy.

As per Main Roads WA requirements, Hi Vis Traffic employees are required at a minimum to be holding the following accreditations :

Basic Worksite Traffic Management (BWTM),
Traffic Control (TC), and
Construction Safety Awareness Training Card (blue card / white card)

We want to ensure that our customers are delighted with the quality of service, expertise and results from our organisation. When we accomplish this goal, the company, our employees and society itself will continue to grow and prosper.

As such, we have very high performance expectations of each member of our team. Below is a partial list of the attributes and behaviours we expect from each team member:
