Australian Chain of Responsibility laws have changed. The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator has introduced tougher penalties, including jail time, for breaches of the new federal legislation. The end game is to reduce accident and fatality rates in the road transport industry and keep heavy vehicle drivers and road users safe. The changes include additional responsibilities around vehicle safety and standards, and reinforce state laws relating to loading, dimensions, speed and fatigue management.
To help you meet your new obligations, we’ve created the NHVR SMS checklist. It’s free to download and also free to use in iAuditor and provides a general guide for you to start managing CoR responsibilities.
This inspection checklist can be used to record problems and mechanical issues or defects. It can also be used to prepare for the DOT annual vehicle inspection. We recommend a certified technician carry out the inspection. Record the type, identification and mileage of the vehicle and take photographs of its general condition. The template includes checks on administrative conformance, brake systems, fuel systems, trailer conditions and other components. The report includes space for safe vehicle operation tips and rating of the overall condition of the vehicle.
Use this checklist before commencing long commercial trips to ensure your truck or heavy vehicle is roadworthy. Conduct a walk-around of the vehicle making sure to inspect the general condition of the vehicle, exterior, in-cab and engine compartment. Conclude by rating the overall condition and roadworthiness of the vehicle.
Use this template when conducting regular driver training assessments for commercial vehicle drivers. Regular training and ride-alongs can help recognize best practice behaviours and identify and remedy bad driving practices. This mobile checklist can be used by an assessor while as a passenger and be used offline. Begin by capturing basic information of the driver and ensure pre-start checks are done correctly. During the drive, monitor engine management, driving technique and professionalism. Complete the report by assessing shut-down procedures, grade the overall outcome and get the driver to sign off. Prepare a final PDF copy of the report without even leaving the vehicle.
