Title: NHVL Chain of Responsibility

NHVL Chain of Responsibility
2
  • The introduction of the Road Transport Reform
    (National Compliance and Enforcement Bill)
    Regulation in 2003 meant that for the first time,
    all parties in the road transport supply chain
    the consignor, consignee, packer, loader and
    scheduler, drivers, owner-drivers and operators
    as well as directors, partners and managers
    could be held responsible for their actions (or
    inactions) relating to breaches of the road
    transport, fatigue, speed, mass, dimension and
    load restraint laws.

The Chain of Responsibility is designed to
  • improve compliance outcomes for road safety,
    infrastructure and the environment,
  • minimise the adverse impacts of road transport on
    the community, and
  • minimise unfair competitive advantage within the
    heavy vehicle industry.

  • If your organisation forms part of the Chain of
    Responsibility then you are legally required
    to ensure any action or inaction taken by you
    does not contribute to or encourage breaches of
    road transport laws.

7
  • Below are some responsibilities that you or
    members of your organisation may have under the
    NHVL, and you are required to have systems in
    place to ensure and evidence (documentation and
    records) your compliance with the requirements
    below and the transport laws.

  • vehicles are regularly maintained (records held),
    and if speed limiters are fitted they are
    functioning properly,

    drugs or alcohol),

13
  • vehicles are not loaded in a way which exceeds
    mass or dimension limits,
  • drivers moving freight containers have a valid
    Container Weight Declaration, and
