Vehicle Safety Equipment for Australian Fleet and Trade Vehicles
Vehicle safety equipment covers the emergency equipment and PPE that fleet vehicles, service vans, and trade vehicles should carry — first aid kits, fire extinguishers, warning triangles, hi-vis vests, and the broader emergency kit that turns a vehicle from a transport tool into a safer mobile workplace. For Australian fleet operators and trade businesses managing vehicle safety obligations, the right equipment matched to the vehicle type and operating environment is essential. AIMS Industrial supplies vehicle safety equipment for trade and industrial customers.

Compliance and regulations
Australian commercial vehicles have varying emergency equipment requirements:
- Heavy vehicles (NHVR registered) — typically require fire extinguishers, warning triangles, and first aid kits
- Dangerous goods vehicles — additional requirements under ADG Code (Australian Dangerous Goods)
- Workplace fleet vehicles — workplace first aid requirements typically extend to fleet vehicles
- Public transport vehicles — taxi, ride-share, and bus vehicles have specific equipment requirements
Confirm the specific compliance requirement for the vehicle type and use; equipment specification depends on the regulation that applies.
First aid kit selection
Vehicle first aid kits should match the workplace first aid requirements as a minimum, with consideration for the vehicle's operating environment:
- Workplace first aid kits (Code of Practice compliant) — meets the workplace first aid requirements as a minimum
- Vehicle first aid kits (compact) — sized for under-seat or glove-box storage
- Remote work first aid kits — extended kits for vehicles operating away from immediate medical assistance
- Specific industry kits — construction, electrical, and similar industry-specific first aid kits
Fire extinguishers for vehicles
Vehicle fire extinguishers should be sized appropriately:
- 1kg ABE dry chemical — minimum for cars and light commercials
- 2kg ABE dry chemical — vans, light trucks, and vehicles carrying flammable goods
- Larger extinguishers — heavy vehicles and dangerous goods transport per ADG Code requirements
Vehicle extinguishers must be securely mounted (typically with vehicle-rated brackets) so they don't become projectiles in collision or sudden manoeuvring. Service annually under AS 1851; tag the extinguisher with service date.
