Heavy Vehicle Transport is one of the most dangerous occupations and industries in Australia. As an employer, your CoR obligations – outlined in the updated CoR laws – require you to ensure the safety of your staff and others in the road transport supply chain industry by taking all reasonable steps required by the CoR laws.
Under the CoR, every individual in the transport supply chain shares responsibility for the accountability and safety of heavy vehicle drivers, and in ensuring safe practices are upheld on and off the road.
Compliance with the updated CoR laws means you’ll be able to operate a safe and financially viable business, protect the workplace health and safety of your employees, and avoid attracting penalties for breaching NVHL laws.
A CoR Audit also means that you’ll be able to articulate more clearly to your staff what their individual obligations in the transport supply chain are, and how they can proactively work to minimise risk, as well as identify gaps in your business practices that may leave you open to non-compliance.
