Jakari Enterprises Pty Ltd is a log haulage company working in the Tasmanian Forest and Timber Industry.

Through their commitment to ensuring its workforce are trained and assessed to the highest possible standards, Jakari, in conjunction with Transqual, identified the requirement for seven employees to undertake training in Driver Fatigue Management.

This training is crucial to the employees so they can perform their job function safely and maintain compliance with the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator and the Forest Safety Code (Tasmania) 2007.

The opportunity afforded by the TSDS program enabled Jakari to have their employees undertake this important training. “We are very happy with TSDS funding and the RTO,” said Shannon Williams, Director of Jakari. “We will now be looking to do additional training.”

As noted by one of the learners in this project, “all the drivers were very happy with the training and are showing improvements from it.”

Jakari Enterprises Pty Ltd strongly agreed that participation in the TSDS program has resulted in an improvement in their employee’s work practices and skills and provided value for money regarding their training dollar. They also strongly agreed that the training provided met their expectations and caused minimal disruption to normal work practices. Overall Jakari Enterprises Pty Ltd was very satisfied with their involvement in the TSDS program and are likely to undertake further training.
