Version: 1.0

Updated: 1 December 2024

Document Summary

This Chain of Responsibility (CoR) Policy outlines the commitment of the company to eliminate and minimize risks associated with transport operations. The policy emphasizes compliance with the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL), ensuring transport-related activities are safe and do not pose risks to workers or the public. The company will implement systems, processes, and training to prevent breaches of the HVNL, maintain safety standards, and ensure all parties in the supply chain uphold their responsibilities.

Key responsibilities are outlined for the company, executive officers, and workers. The company must ensure vehicles meet heavy vehicle standards and systems are adequately supervised. Executive officers have due diligence obligations to uphold CoR requirements, while workers are tasked with adhering to loading limits, safe vehicle operations, and fatigue management guidelines to ensure their fitness for work.
