Managers and supervisors in the supply chain and transport industry benefit from this training to ensure compliance and safety within their organizations.

This unit is generally for managers and supervisors and develops their expertise when it comes to monitoring the safety of transport activities.
Undertaking COR 2 training will ensure your business’ compliance with national heavy vehicle laws, whilst developing your knowledge when it comes to determining and developing chain of responsibility policies and procedures that will keep the people in your team safe.
It will also give you added understanding for the initial identification of supply chain risks and industry best practices for monitoring and reporting them.
If you’re a manager or supervisor in the supply chain and transport industry, you should make sure you’re up to speed with what training and accreditations you need when it comes to chain of responsibility.
For any organisation that uses heavy vehicles (over 4.5 tonnes) in their supply chain, they need to ensure that all business activities to do with chain of responsibility comply with national heavy vehicle laws.
On 1 October 2018, the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) was amended to include Chain of Responsibility (CoR) obligations relating to every party in the heavy vehicle transport supply chain.
The chain of responsibility legislation was developed from the understanding that when it comes to heavy vehicle incidents, any unlawful behaviour by a driver can often be traced back to influencing parties or other factors. The stressful nature of the role, for example, delivery times and working hours/contracts, can contribute as well.
Ensuring every party in the supply chain is aware of the rules and regulations is the key to maintaining your business’ compliance with heavy vehicle laws.
Undertaking chain of responsibility training should be your next step, to guarantee everyone in your supply chain is on the same page and minimise any potential harm to your team.
The need for a specific license may depend on the nature of the work, industry regulations, and local laws. Always refer to the specific requirements set forth by the relevant authorities in your region.
