CoR training, Australia wide
We are an (RTO) that is different to most others. We focus on what we are passionate about. And that’s, Chain of Responsibility training and assessment.
Our clients approach us to undertake the latest Chain of Responsibility Nationally Recognised unit of competencies, known as: TLIF0009 Ensure the safety of transport activities or TLIF0014 – Ensure the safety of transport activities.
As a niche RTO, your Chain of Responsibility course will be delivered by our organisation’s CEO, Peter Strandly.
Peter has experience with all levels of the supply chain- from management to frontline staff. Our Chain of Responsibility training and assessment resources relevant to: TLIF0009 Ensure the safety of transport activities or TLIF0014 – Monitor the safety of transport activities, have been, and continue to be, developed in consultation with industry.
We really do offer Chain of Responsibility training that is relevant to industry and is contextualised to the needs of your organisation.
The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) states that; under chain of responsibility (COR), complying with transport law is a shared responsibility and all parties in the road transport supply chain are responsible for preventing breaches. This approach recognises the effects of the actions, inactions and demands of off-the-road parties in the transport chain.
Anybody – not just the driver – who has influence or control over a ‘transport activity’ may be held responsible for breaches of the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) and may be legally liable. Chain of Responsibility is similar to the legal concept of ‘duty of care’, which underpins Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) law. This approach has long been used by the courts to impose liability in negligence and damages claims.
All parties in the supply chain – consignor/dispatcher, packer, loader, scheduler, consignee/receiver, manager, as well as the driver and operator – must take all reasonable steps to prevent breaches of the road transport mass, dimension, loading, speed, fatigue and vehicle standards laws and regulations.
High quality CoR training and assessment is very important. This is due to the fact, that Under Chain of Responsibility law and regulation, penalties and sanctions range from formal warnings to court imposed fines and penalties relating to the commercial benefit derived from offences. Supervisory intervention orders and prohibition orders banning individuals from the industry can be applied to ‘persistent or systematic’ offenders.
