What Regulators Are Saying

SafeWork SA: 2025

"Vehicle roll-away incidents in South Australia were almost always preventable. Eliminating the risk should be a priority for all businesses and drivers."

NIOSH FACE: Washington, 2019

"Employers should install electronic parking brake systems that automatically apply the parking brake when the driver has not set it before exiting the cab."

Judge Strathdee: NSW, 2021

"The safety measures required to prevent the death were self-evidently simple — such as using a spotter or radio-controlled clearance."

Victorian OCI Report: 2024

"Mandating seatbelt reminder systems on buses to place less reliance on the need for verbal seatbelt reminders."

The technology exists. Now.

MAX-SAFE is designed to prevent rollaway, reversing, blind spot and occupant safety incidents — protecting drivers, workers and communities.
