Chain of Responsibility (CoR)
Meet your primary duty to manage your freight transport risks
The Chain of Responsibility (CoR) under the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) is a crucial aspect of ensuring safety on our roads. It applies to everyone involved in the heavy vehicle transport supply chain, from drivers and loaders to consignors, consignees, and even company directors.
Here at Tri Axle Group, we understand the complexities of CoR compliance. We can help you navigate the regulations and implement effective systems to keep your business safe, compliant, and on the road.
Why CoR Matters
CoR is designed to promote a shared responsibility for the safety of heavy vehicle operations. This includes ensuring:
- Vehicle safety: Vehicles are properly maintained and meet weight and dimension limits.
- Driver fitness: Drivers are well-rested, have the correct licenses, and adhere to fatigue management requirements.
- Load security: Goods are properly secured to prevent shifting or falling during transport.
- Task planning: Transport tasks are realistic, allowing drivers to complete their journeys safely within legal timeframes.
The Cost of Non-Compliance
Failing to comply with CoR can have significant consequences. These include:
- Heavy fines: Businesses and individuals can face substantial financial penalties for breaches.
- Vehicle immobilisation: Vehicles found to be unsafe or overloaded can be impounded.
- Loss of reputation: Non-compliance can damage your company’s image and impact your ability to operate.
- Increased risk of accidents: Unmaintained vehicles, fatigued drivers, and improperly loaded goods dramatically increase the risk of accidents, causing injuries, fatalities, and property damage.
