CoR for Consingees and Consignors (Chain of Responsibility)

About this course

This course includes the Chain of Responsibility Introduction module, the Chain of Responsibility for Consignees module, and the Chain of Responsibility for Consignors module.


As part of the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL), people need to be aware  of the role or roles they play in the Chain of Responsibility and be educated  on their responsibilities as defined in the HVNL.

This course teaches the laws and principles of the Chain of Responsibility, the different roles which have been named as parties of the Chain of Responsibility, the five target areas that the laws have focused on to improve safety, and in-depth knowledge and understanding of the tasks and responsibilities consignees have within the Chain of Responsibility.

You will also learn why the Chain of Responsibility exists, why 
off-road parties can be held accountable for offences that happen on the road, the skills to identify CoR breaches in a range of scenarios, both relating to their role directly and in broader situations, the control methods which should be in place relating to their role and how to apply and recognise the functions of the control methods.
