CoR is Everyone’s Responsibility
Chain of Responsibility aims to ensure that everyone in the road transport supply chain shares responsibility for preventing breaches of the HVNL from occurring.
If you are named as a party in the Chain of Responsibility, which means you exercise (or have the capability of exercising) control or influence over the safety of the heavy vehicle journey, you have a responsibility to ensure the safety of your transport activities and to eliminate or reduce the risk to public safety.
Parties in the Chain of Responsibility include those who arrange (book) road transport with a provider, pack, load, unload or receive goods that have been, or will be, transported via road transportation; those who employ or engage road transport drivers, and those who control the use of the heavy vehicle or schedule loads the heavy vehicle will carry.
The law recognises that multiple parties may be responsible for offences
committed by the drivers and operators of heavy vehicles. Legal liability applies to a business and all its employees who are parties in the Chain of Responsibility for their actions or inactions. For this reason, all employees, regardless of level, should complete this course.
