We’ve received many inquiries recently asking:
“Do I need to do Chain of Responsibility (CoR) training?”
According to the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR):
“If you consign, pack, load, or receive goods as part of your business, you could be held legally liable for breaches of the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) even though you have no direct role in driving or operating a heavy vehicle. In addition, corporate entities, directors, partners, and managers are accountable for the actions of people under their control. This is the Chain of Responsibility (CoR).”
Do You Need CoR Training?
If you’re asking questions like:
- What is the NHVR?
- What is the HVNL?
- What is CoR?
And if your role is part of a supply chain involving heavy vehicles over 4.5 tonnes gross vehicle mass, then it is highly advisable to learn the duties of your role. Understanding what ‘reasonable steps’ you should take ensures compliance with the HVNL.
The Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) and regulations commenced on 10 February 2014 in the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, and Victoria.
