Chain of Responsibility (CoR) Awareness for Executives

Coming Soon

The Chain of Responsibility (CoR) for Executives course is offered by My Freight Career in partnership with The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) as part of the Heavy Vehicle Safety Initiative (HVSI).

Under the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL), everyone who works with heavy vehicles either directly or indirectly, is accountable for safety. This is not just limited to the business that employs the driver or owns the vehicle—it also includes any business that sends or receives goods.

The course has been designed specifically for company executives, branch managers, operational and department managers, compliance teams and supervisors working in an international freight forwarding or logistics operation.

Delivered online and at your own pace, the course covers everything leaders need to know to identify and reduce risk, minimise harm and ensure compliance. You’ll learn abut your legal responsibilities and find out how to develop the necessary internal processes, procedures and programs needed to comply, including training your workforce.
