My Freight Career has worked closely with the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) to develop and deliver a tailored course focusing on Chain of Responsibility (CoR). Funded through the NHVR’s Heavy Vehicle Safety Initiative’s once-off grant for CoR training, supported by the Australian Government. This training is for anyone in a leadership role (management, directorial, executive, or supervisory) in the freight forwarding, customs brokerage, and logistics industry.
The course is designed to provide industry leaders with the knowledge and understanding required to implement a safety management plan into their business to comply with their Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) and Chain of Responsibility (CoR) obligations.
Participants will gain the knowledge and awareness required to identify hazards and risks their business poses to the heavy vehicle road transport journey and implement controls within the business to eliminate or minimise the risks to public safety.
If you assume that Chain of Responsibility is solely the responsibility of the road transport provider and the driver, think again… Chain of Responsibility includes everyone in the supply chain. The safety of the road transport journey and risks to public safety are the shared responsibility of everyone in the Chain of Responsibility.
This course is unique. My Freight Career has developed this course specifically for the International Freight Forwarding, Customs Brokerage and Logistics Industry, and we are the sole provider of this course.
