Transport Industry Document Destruction

The transport and logistics sector is a critical part of any functioning society. Made very clear in recent times with pandemic related delays – the whole country stops when the transport sector does. Providing essential goods around Australia, this industry involves logistics, road transportation, warehousing, stevedoring and more. As advancements in automation and new technologies arrive, we see many areas move into the digital age. However, there’s still a place for the trusty pen and paper in this hands-on workplace. Unloading and loading cargo often requires verification and physical sign-offs. This comes in the form of paper receipts and proof of delivery forms. Payslip receipts, internal company communications and ex-employee records all really start to pile up. These forms can contain personal information about clients, employees and company financial details. As a business, you have a legal and moral duty by your clients and employees to make sure these documents are disposed of appropriately. Vault Document Destruction offers you a safe and completely secure way to permanently destroy all your confidential material.
