Chain of Responsibility

About this course

The Chain of Responsibility (CoR) is a framework used in Australian transport legislation to place legal obligations on the various parties involved in the transport supply chain, particularly the heavy vehicle industry.

The Chain of Responsibility regulates areas such as speeding, fatigue, mass, loading and dimension, recognising that unlawful behaviour may occur due to the actions of others within the supply chain.

This course provides an overview of CoR obligations and outlines the responsibilities of individuals and organisations involved in heavy vehicle transport operations.

How it is delivered

• Structured learning Designed for learners who are new to the topic or want a comprehensive overview. The course explores the subject in detail and typically takes 35–40 minutes to complete.
• Accelerated learning Allows learners who understand the topic to proceed quickly through the course in 20-30 minutes.

Two ways to run it

• Your policies, your scenarios

  We rebuild “Chain of Responsibility” around how your organisation actually works, so the training changes behaviour instead of recording completions.

  Build a custom version

• Ready to run as it is

  Deploy the course off the shelf, with light branding if you want it. Delivered with our partner Safetrac, who will contact you directly.

  Deploy off the shelf

Either way, you can run it through our compliance platform or take it as a SCORM package for the LMS you already have.

What it costs

Off-the-shelf pricing starts at $4,000 a year for up to ten courses with your logo and colours applied, rising with how much you want changed. The tiers are the same across the catalogue, so they are set out once on the pricing page rather than repeated on all 101 courses.

If what you actually need is your own scenarios and your own policies rather than a reskin, that is a custom build, and it is the work Hungry Minds does.
