Transport Safety & Chain of Responsibility.

Everyone in the supply chain shares the duty to keep heavy vehicles safe. We map your transport activities, build the controls that hold, and get you ready for the 1 August reforms.

The duty

Chain of Responsibility is everyone's responsibility, but those who direct and control transport activities have a critical duty to ensure work is planned, managed and carried out safely and lawfully.

Under the Heavy Vehicle National Law, every party who influences how a load moves shares legal responsibility for safety. From 1 August the duties get sharper and the penalties get bigger. We turn those duties into specific, assigned responsibilities, and give you the evidence that each is being met.

The chain

Five links. Every one of them carries a duty.

The law follows the load. For each party in your chain we define the duty, build the control, and leave the evidence that it is being met.

How we work

Built into your operations, not bolted on as an afterthought.

We sit with your schedulers, loaders and managers, map how a load really moves, and build controls into the daily flow. The result is a live Chain of Responsibility register your board can sign off and your team can actually run.
