Chain of Responsibility

Understanding Chain of Responsibility

This Chain of Responsibility (CoR) training module explains the concept of Chain of Responsibility within the transport and logistics sector. It outlines how legal obligations are distributed among all parties in the supply chain from schedulers and loaders to drivers and operators to ensure risks such as fatigue, load restraint and vehicle maintenance are effectively managed.

In this module we will look at:

the specific obligations for the various duty holders within Chain of Responsibility law.

Relevant Australian Legislation:

• Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) – Governs the CoR provisions and sets out the obligations for all parties involved in the transport supply chain.
• Chain of Responsibility (CoR) Guidelines – Enforced under the HVNL, these guidelines require that all entities in the supply chain share responsibility for safety and compliance.

This module will take approximately 25 minutes to complete.
