The Australian Forest Contractors Association’s (AFCA) Professional Freight Task Management program was developed following several crash investigations identifying the need for a program such as PFTM that focused on the human factors that contribute to crashes within the transport industry.
Our trainers and industry experts Alan Pincott and Kirstin Pincottin provide valuable insights from the Heavy Vehicle Crash and Rollover Awareness Program, presenting a comprehensive training package like no other.
Their extensive experience and dedication to safety will ensure that participants gain invaluable insights and practical strategies to enhance their operations. The PFTM program offers a complete and holistic approach to best practices in the transport industry whether you're an experienced professional or just starting out!

Open to ALL industries and professionals, both within and outside the transport sector the PFTM program combines the knowledge and expertise of our extensively qualified trainers with real-world examples and practical training sessions. With an emphasis on safety, efficiency, and industry-wide excellence, this program is set to revolutionise the way freight tasks are managed. It equips professionals with the knowledge, skills, and tools necessary to navigate the complexities of the freight industry while prioritising the well-being of drivers.
